Does GUV destroy Coronavirus and other pathogens?
Yes – Studies and tests over the decades demonstrate that GUV light totally inactivates coronavirus’, MERS, SARS, SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) and even chemically & vaccine resistant pathogens like MRSA, C.Dif; in fact all viruses, bacteria and spores which are harmful to humans.Coronavirus is amongst the easiest micro-organism’s to destroy.We design our solutions to destroy Influenza A which requires several times more UV-C energy than the SARS-CoV-2 Covid19 virus. This ensures also that the solution we specify for you gives long term protection against whatever may come in the future. We create Pandemic Resilience.What is UV-C disinfection?
Germicidal UV-C disinfection is where Ultraviolet light of a short wavelength (254nm) is emitted to inactivate/kill microorganisms by destroying their nucleic acids, which dismantles their RNA and DNA, therefore destroying their structures, the building blocks of their existence and neutralising them. This is also known as Germicidal Ultraviolet (GUV). The inactivation of a pathogen is virtually instant upon exposure.Will your solutions be suitable for my organisation’s environment?
We are not just suppliers of products; our specialist team of Chartered Engineers, Scientists and Medical experts can design the solutions for your organisation and specify the products that are tailored and dedicated for your occupational environment, risks and your organisations’ needs, ensuring they are located and installed to ensure optimum performance in reducing the risk within your facilities.Will I be compliant and create a “COVID-Secure workplace” with GUV?
Yes – coupled with following the HSE’s guidelines, with sound management practices supporting the risk assessment, GUV will assist you to create as safe a workplace environment as is reasonably practicable, as the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 (HSWA)also requires.You will be compliant with those legal requirements and also The Workplace (health, safety and welfare) Regulations 1992 which requires adequate ventilation. These regulations and the HSWA have not changed, indeed, the coronavirus hazard now is known to be primarily an airborne transmission risk and one that is here to stay, that “we must learn to live with”, raises the bar significantly for what firms must do now to be compliant.Why are air disinfection solutions important?
Smaller pathogen droplets, micro-droplets and droplet nucleii (aerosols) can remain in an air system or surrounding air for up to 3 hours if the air in a room remains undisturbed, and they can remain for much longer in damp chilled environments, such as food factories. These aerosols can also travel several metres indoors due to air currents. If ventilation is inadequate, the risk of infection is accelerated.Our GUV systems ensure that air is constantly disinfected by inactivating any harmful airborne microbes such as Coronavirus and other airborne pathogens.
