UV lamps can cause skin cancer, and also eye damage.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet#Harmful_effects

Night Safari gift shop uses a lot of UV lighting (used to showcase the glow-in-the-dark merchandise). The health risk is not just for the visitors, but especially for the staff stationed at the Night Safari gift shop, due to their more extensive prolonged exposure to the UV lighting (taking into consideration that the UV lamps at the Night Safari gift shop have already been in operation for several years now).

Depending on the exact type of UV lamps used, there could be a significantly increased risk of UV light induced DNA damage, in turn resulting in a significantly increased risk of skin cancer and eye damage.

Anyone knows if the type of UV lamp used, is safe for the Night Safari gift shop staff?
