Jennifer Picker, Manager of Program Management for Tru-D SmartUVC
Education and training are the number one priority during installation. This is not only for Tru-D operators, but other staff as well. Rounding the facility with Tru-D before training gives the facility staff time to ask questions and voice concerns while the Tru-D representative is on site.
Training operators consists of classroom training including a written test, on-the-floor training and a competency form for any regulatory agency that may need to see it.
Tru-D also provides “train-the-trainer” materials so new employees and operators can be trained to properly use the device.
In addition to thorough training, Tru-D provides several safety functions and barriers to ensure no one enters the room while the device is in operation. These include door barriers, audible warnings, automatic shutoff upon entry, door monitors and visible caution signage. However, education is the best way to prevent accidental exposure.
