Artificial optical radiation can damage the eyes and skin if not properly managed. The Control of Artificial Optical Radiation at Work Regulations 2010 (CAORW Regulations) implement the requirements of an EU directive aimed at protecting workers from hazardous sources of artificial light, such as UV radiation and powerful lasers. The regulations only cover artificial sources of optical radiation and not natural sources, such as the sun.
