Play Video: Webinar: Germicidal Ultraviolet use in Healthcare Setting

Employees and patients in healthcare settings are at high risk for respiratory infection due to close contact and contamination of surfaces and air. Germicidal Ultraviolet (GUV) technology can be used as an advanced engineering control to reduce the spread of respiratory infections without changing existing patient care practices. In this webinar hosted by NIOSH, four experts provide a comprehensive overview of GUV technology and its application in controlling respiratory infections in healthcare environments. The webinar aims to make valuable information accessible to healthcare professionals and researchers, supporting ongoing education and inspiring improvements in healthcare safety protocols.
