The present invention relates to a sterilisation system for sterilising a surface comprising ultraviolet (UV) light emitting means operable to emit UV-C light radiation, a mounting for the ultraviolet (UV) light emitting means, moving means operable to move the mounting, sensor means operable to detect when the surface is touched by a human, control means operable to activate the moving means and the ultraviolet (UV) light emitting means in response to signals from the sensor means, whereby when the sensor means detects that the surface has been touched the control means is operable to activate the moving means to move the mounting and simultaneously and automatically activate the UV light emitting means such that UV-C light radiation emitted from the UV light emitting means is directed onto the surface to sterilise the surface. The present invention may be adapted for use in sterilising surfaces of elevator interfaces, access control panels for exit and entry to buildings, user terminal for operating a credit/debit card transaction, ATM interfaces and the like.
