UV light measurement instruments and regulations

["Moroney, Roger W" <WRMoroe@MKG.com>]

I have a need to assess a UV light source and could use some
information.

First, I am looking for an instrument to measure UV light levels. I have
done some searching on the web and looked through a few catalogs and
have not been able to find much. I have not yet determined the type of
UV light present(A, B or C) but I would imagine that a vendor could
supply me with the appropriate instrument once I figure that out.

I also did not have much better luck in finding info on exposure limits.
I had done some work on non-ionizing safety a while back but it was
almost exclusively related to lasers. I could not find a corresponding
body of information on regulation of UV exposures. Could someone point
me in the right direction? The OSHA regs I looked at do not seem to
address it other than from exposure to welding activities.

Thanks,
