Light ergonomics is the relationship between the light source and the individual. [1] ... Recommended Illumination Levels [2] Type of Activity Ranges of Illuminations
Localized lighting consists of a luminaire that provides ambient light as well as task light. Often it is an uplighter with a light source that is directed downward. It is intended to be mounted immediately over the workplace, and it can be either hung from the ceiling, mounted on the desk or a dividing wall, or it can be a free-standing floor ...
The light level in the experiment room was then decreased, and the results were the same: increased productivity in both rooms. Productivity only began to decrease in the experiment room when the light level was reduced to about the level of moonlight, which made it hard to see.
The use of artificial light as the sole source of light or mixing artificial and daylight might cause ill-health effects, both physical and mental, such as eye strain, headaches, or fatigue. The standards address the types of light that negatively affect vision, angles of light in different environments, illumination standards per square meter ...
Administrative controls are policies and regulations in the workplace that help prevent a hazard. [9] For ergonomic hazards, this could involve: Rotating workers between tasks so people are not using the same muscle groups for an extended period of time. Providing sufficient breaks for workers to rest. Storing heavy materials at waist level.
