| Abstract |
This guidance note looks at hazards resulting from inadequate illumination and explains how correct lighting can be effective in decreasing errors and accidents and improving productivity. Factors to be considered in reducing light-related hazards include human factors, size and shape of area to be illuminated, maintenance and glare. Reference is made to a Canadian standard suggesting levels of illummination for industrial and office environments, and relevant Canadian legislation is quoted. Types of lighting design and light distribution patterns are also described. |
