Proper lighting is important for maintaining a safe and productive work environment. Insufficient or poorly distributed lighting can contribute to eye strain, reduced visibility, and an increased risk of incidents, particularly in work areas, walkways, and outdoor spaces used at night. Lighting assessments evaluate whether lighting levels are appropriate for the tasks being performed and help identify areas where illumination may be inadequate or uneven. These evaluations may include measurements of light levels and a review of workspace conditions to determine if improvements are needed to support visibility, comfort, and overall safety.
If you have a concern about insufficient lighting in your work environment, you can Book a Consultation with Industrial Hygiene.
