Is the HandKey safe?
The infrared lights used in the hand reader are similar to those used in remote controls for TV’s and VCR’s. The light’s power level is 100 mill watts – less than the amount produced by natural sunlight or microwave ovens. Ingersoll Rand Recognition Systems has been contacted by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and has supplied all requested information. No reports of hazards have been generated by OSHA.
