| Abstract |
This booklet explains how lighting at work can affect safety and health. Poor lighting makes it difficult to see and recognize hazards, causes eye strain, induces stressful postures and can give rise to other safety or health problems. The booklet offers guidance on how to approach problems with lighting at work. The main steps are to design the workplace so as to avoid such problems, and to identify and assess them at the workplace (lighting levels, glare, reflection and shadow), and to develop, implement and evaluate solutions. Examples of solutions are provided, as well as a checklist and a questionnaire for the identification and assessment of lighting problems. Relevant legislation and regulations are also mentioned. |
