UV-C light is a proven method of infection control that’s suited to a huge range of industries and settings. Not only does it give people confidence that they’re in safe hands – it’s completely safe, cost-effective and really simple to install and maintain. UV-C disinfection is the safe choice for your business – here’s why:

1. Scientifically Proven

UV-C light sterilisation has been a trusted method of infection control for decades. It’s proven to destroy the COVID-19 virus in minutes and eliminates harmful bacteria, viruses and microorganisms. It works by targeting the DNA of the microbe; resulting in cellular mutations that stunt the growth and prevent DNA replications. This in turn kills harmful pathogens and prevents the spread of infection. 

2. Versatile Installation

UV-C light technology is suitable for application in a wide range of environments. If you’re treating busy areas that experience a high footfall, upper-air luminaires can be fixed into the wall or ceiling to provide upper air filtration while normal activity resumes beneath. For more ‘high risk areas’ such as washrooms, motion sensored battens like the AIRZING PRO 5040 operate when the area is clear, reducing the risk of contamination and posing no health risks to people accessing the space. 

3. Disruption Free Cleaning 

With this innovative light technology, there’s no need to worry about clearing areas to prepare for a deep clean. Whilst fixed UV-C luminaires are often fitted into walls or ceilings, portable units can be wheeled into areas and switched on overnight or at quiet periods to effectively reduce the risk of bacteria spreading in the space. With minimal maintenance and super simple application, UV-C light technology is the straightforward solution to help build confidence that your premises are safe and protected.

4. No Nasty Chemicals

Traditional chemical disinfectants not only require safe storage and handling, but they pose numerous risks such as respiratory harm and skin damage. UV-C disinfection is a non-toxic alternative to infection control that sterilises air, surfaces and water without leaving any trace of dangerous substances behind. This long-term disinfection solution is much quicker, safer and easier to apply than chemical cleaning methods – give it a try and experience the results for yourself.

5. Environmentally Safe 

UV-C light sterilisation is the way to go for environmentally conscious businesses. It boasts zero ozone emissions during or after use – making it a pollutant free choice that’s proven to destroy harmful bacteria effectively. Check out our short video to find out more about UV-C light disinfection and discover how UV-C luminaries can reduce the spread of infection in your business.

The post 5 Reasons Why UV-C Disinfection is the Safe Choice for your Business appeared first on Agilo.

The COVID-19 pandemic has shifted the priorities for many of us: retail, education, corporate and leisure are all sectors that have been tasked with reducing the spread of infection in their spaces.

Here at Agilo, we have UV-C solutions that can be tailored to your setting and we’re on hand to ensure the successful implementation of UV-C health technology.

5 Tips for UVC Light Disinfection

1. Evaluate Your Space

First of all, it’s important to understand the dynamic of the application space. Different areas require different types of UV-C light disinfection: depending on factors such as whether you intend to treat air, surfaces or water, or if people will be present in the application space.

Try to do a spatial survey to find out whether air or surfaces need to be treated, how often the space is populated and the frequency and length of quiet periods. This will help you make decisions on the right type of UV-C lighting for the space. 

2. Identify High Contact Zones

Door handles, handrails and shared equipment are all ‘high risk’ zones.  As they’re in regular contact with hands throughout the day, they can act as a fertile breeding ground for viruses, bacteria and other contaminants.

These areas are easily treated with portable UV-C light disinfection units, which sanitise surfaces overnight or at intervals throughout the day to reduce the spread of infection.

Try to identify these areas from the outset and tailor UV-C light disinfection solutions to target these areas as a first priority. 

3. Select Effective Lighting

If the area is going to be populated throughout the day, like a classroom for example, then upper air UV-C luminaires continuously disinfect the air while normal activity resumes beneath.

If you’d like to disinfect surfaces, then direct UV-C luminaires can be used to eradicate any harmful pathogens when people aren’t present; usually overnight or at controlled periods.

There’s also options for UV-C luminaires optimised with timers and sensors for added protection and ease of use. 

4. Consider Safety Requirements

It’s important to take care when using UV-C luminaires, as they emit UV-C light in varying amounts which can be harmful if not applied correctly. We strongly advise users to consult the user manual for comprehensive instructions on correct operation, usage and maintenance.

That said, when applied properly, UV-C lamps and devices present minimal risk and support your infection control strategy. Agilo will supply all the technical information and advice that you need to stay safe. 

5. Always Seek Expert Advice

Agilo experts are always on hand to offer advice and reassurance when applying UV-C. We understand that safety is paramount and our team will give you the confidence that your UV-C application is effective and applied correctly. We offer bespoke consultation, trusted advice and solutions for all settings.

We’re on hand to facilitate safe educational spaces with UV-C light disinfection solutions that are proven to destroy the COVID-19 virus and other harmful pathogens in minutes. 

Classrooms, lecture theatres and canteens typically have a high-density of students and teachers in small spaces, which in turn increases the risk of the spread of infection. Our range of UV luminaires are fixed, portable, adjustable and remote controlled, so whatever the setting, we can find the solution best suited to the space.

UV-C Light Sterilisation in Education:

Classrooms and Lecture Halls:

Dense contact zones like these require properly considered infection control.  Upper air luminaires like the Philip Ceiling Mounted unit are effective in busy spaces: they provide air filtration while normal activity safely resumes in the area below.

Optimised for low ceilings and easy to install, they’re perfect for classrooms and a really smart bit of kit. Easy installation is one of the many benefits of using UV-C lights to fight infection.

Shared Social Spaces:

Canteens, break rooms, libraries and IT suites are all areas that experience very busy periods at intervals throughout the day. Motion sensored UV light battens, like the AIRZING PRO 5040 are the smart choice for these areas.

The UV lamp generates 253.7 nm UV light, which is ideal for highly effective sterilisation, disinfection, and cleaning – up to 99.9 percent of microorganisms (viruses, bacteria, fungi) are destroyed, both in the air and also on surfaces.

As it’s motion sensored, it switches off as soon as people enter the UV working area, so you can rest assured that the luminaire is doing its job at the right time and poses no health risks to staff or students.

High Contact Points:

Door handles, handrails and shared equipment are all ‘high risk’ zones.  As they’re in regular contact with hands throughout the day, they act as a fertile breeding ground for viruses, bacteria and other contaminants.

Portable UV-C light disinfection units can be utilised to sanitise these areas overnight or at intervals throughout the day to reduce the likelihood of contamination.

Agilo supply a range of portable luminaires that can be wheeled in at quiet periods to effectively deactivate any harmful viruses or bacteria and keep your education setting secure.

Other high contact premises like offices can be protected by UV-C Light Disinfection as well as educational settings.

Limiting the spread of infection is a key public health requirement and UV-C light disinfection is proven method of infection control: effectively destroying harmful viruses, bacteria and a range of microorganisms. 

Why UV-C Light Disinfection is the Smart Choice for your Customers:

Scientifically Proven:

UV-C disinfection is tried, tested and trusted by a wide range of industries, including healthcare and water sanitation. Put simply: it has the credentials. The non-toxic technology has been proven to deactivate harmful pathogens, both airborne and on surfaces.

Not only that, it eradicates bacteria, chemical-resistant parasites, mould and spores. UV-C is a robust, proven method of infection control and will provide assurances to your customers that their safety is paramount on your premises.

Versatile Installation:

For areas of high footfall, upper-air UV-C luminaires are a perfect choice. These are easily fitted into the ceiling and quietly distribute UV-C rays while everyday activity continues safely beneath it. Reception areas, customer waiting rooms, stairwells and queuing areas are optimum spaces for ceiling-mounted UV-C devices to perform productively.

We know that busier areas carry an increased risk of infection, so it’s critical to treat these areas to avoid contamination and give your customers the assurances they need to feel safe.

Environmentally Friendly:

UV-C light technology is a smart choice for environmentally conscious businesses. It boasts no ozone emissions or nasty chemicals: it’s just the intelligent use of light. It’s a safe alternative to chemical disinfectants, which require careful handling, time-consuming application processes and risk assessments.

Another key benefit of UV-C light disinfection is that it poses no risk of dampness or fungi developing, which can often be the case with liquid disinfectants.

We supply UV-C lighting solutions which are not only proven to destroy the COVID-19 virus in minutes but are also the environmentally-conscious choice for workplace sanitation. 

It’s essential that business owners and office managers take the right steps towards protecting their staff.

UV-C disinfection is the solution: it’s a cost-effective, low maintenance method of sterilisation that is suited for use in commercial spaces with areas of high footfall.

Our range of UV-C luminaires are fixed, portable, adjustable and remote-controlled, so whatever your setting, we can find the solution best suited to your space. Here we reveal how you can protect your office space with UV-C Disinfection lights.

Protecting your Office with UV-C Disinfection

Desks & Seating:

Office workers should feel comfortable at their desks – after all, it’s where they spend the vast majority of their day.

Upper air luminaires are effective in commercial spaces as they work to provide air filtration while normal activity safely resumes in the area below. They’re optimised for low ceilings and are really easy to install too.

Another high performing UV-C disinfection option for offices is the AIRZING PRO 5040, which is equipped with an IR sensor and can be attached fitted into walls or ceilings. This motion sensored UV light batten switches off as soon as people enter the UV working area, so you can rest assured that the luminaire is doing its job at the right time and poses no health risks in your workplace. 

High Contact Points:

Door handles, light switches, lift buttons are all ‘high risk’ areas.  They come into regular contact with hands throughout the day and act as a fertile breeding ground for viruses, bacteria and other contaminants.

UV-C light disinfection can be utilised to destroy 99.9% of harmful pathogens on surfaces, so these areas can be treated overnight or at intervals throughout the day to reduce the likelihood of contamination in your workplace.

Agilo has portable luminaires that can be wheeled in at quiet periods to effectively deactivate any harmful viruses or bacteria in minutes and really take away those worries.

Busy Areas:

UV-C sterilisation is versatile light technology and an effective method of infection control in areas of high footfall. Reception areas, stairwells, lifts, meeting rooms and break areas are all busier spots that carry an increased risk of harmful pathogens being present.

These areas can be treated with fixed UV-C luminaires which are switched on overnight to eradicate harmful pathogens, resulting in sterilised and safe areas for use the following day.

Upper air UV luminaires are also effective in busy areas and work while business continues as usual underneath. It’s critical to treat busy areas in order to prevent contamination and bring the added peace of mind that your staff are in safe hands.

UV-C Health Technology also helps protect customers that visit your office or workspace, which helps build confidence within visitors that your premises are a safe place to be.

UV-C disinfection is the non-toxic solution to infection control and sterilisation. Unlike chemical disinfectants, light-powered sanitation is environmentally friendly and a safe alternative to handling hazardous chemicals and dealing with heat sterilisation. Whilst UV light exposure can be problematic for humans, UV-C disinfection is a controlled method of sterilisation and is often used overnight, in between patients or at quiet periods to eliminate any risks to humans or animals.

Don’t forget – we’re here to support you and help you ensure the safest possible practice for your business when selecting and using UV-C lighting products.

– Versatile:

Light-powered disinfection can be applied to a number of business environments and settings. Retail, hospitality, salons, schools, banking, offices, gyms and transportation industries can all adopt this technology – and the list goes on.
