Título The effect of light on man and its significance in accident prevention
Título original Der Einfluss des Lichtes auf den Menschen und seine Bedeutung für die Unfallverhütung [en alemán]
Información bibliográfica 1971, No.15, p.67-71. Illus.
Resumen Light not only serves for information transmission via the eye but also acts, through special nerve paths, on the neurovegetative-system regulation organs which control the whole of the body's metabolism and functions. Thus good lighting not only facilitates vision but also increases the worker's appetite for work and his sentiment of wellbeing, intensifies concentration and prevents premature fatigue. Sections are devoted to: the effect of illumination level on visual acuity; the stimulating effect of light on motivation, concentration and reactivity; the effect of thermal radiation from lamps; requirements for the achievement of good illumination quality and good colour rendition; results of research on the effect of lighting on accidents and productivity.
