Good lighting plays an important role in safeguarding health at work by enabling employees to perform their work comfortably and efficiently. Poor lighting can also be a safety hazard - misjudgement of the position, shape or speed of an object can lead to accidents and injury.
In simple terms, a lighting assessment is a careful examination of a specific task(s) and the lighting condition in general areas of the work environment. It serves to:
- Identify the potential hazards arising from the work activity under the current lighting conditions, such as insufficient illumination, excessive contrast, glare or flicker;
- Help to determine who may be harmed; and
- Evaluate the risks and decide whether improvement measures are needed to protect the employees, including but not limited to the lighting provision.
SASM measures illuminance - displayed in lux (lx) - with a Sper Scientific Ltd. Light Meter 840006.
