Title Effect of glare on visual fatigue under industrial conditions
Original title Vlijanie slepjaščego dejstvija na zritel'noe utomlenie v proizvodstvennyh uslovijah [in Russian]
Bibliographic information 1982, No.9, p.7-9. Illus. 5 ref.
Abstract Packers at the end of the presses in a newspaper plant experienced visual fatigue as a result of glare from naked lightbulbs mounted in the adjoining shipping department; even relatively undemanding visual tasks were made difficult by glare. Quantitative data on the packers' fatigue were collected: achromatic adysparopia time was measured as a function of exposure time; both total exposure time and exposure period within a shift were varied. The degree of fatigue at any exposure level was lower than the degree of fatigue reported for subjects performing demanding visual tasks. Installation of screens between the shipping and packing area was recommended.
