Standards of industrial lighting
Lighting is a key factor affecting the comfort of a workplace. According to the ordinance of the Minister of Labor and Social Policy regarding general health and safety regulations in industrial premises, lighting must be provided in accordance with Polish health and safety standards. These regulations define what light is required at a given workplace and what conditions it should meet to protect the eyesight and well-being of the employee.
These standards pay particular attention to luminance intensity and distribution. They affect the speed of reaction and the quality of vision, any deficiencies in this area lead to glare or flickering, reduced ability to recognize objects. An equally important factor is the rendering and appearance of the light color, the higher its value, the more faithful the color is to the original.
