Employee stress levels and their performance in the workplace is major concern to many industries today. Illumination assessments are a requirement of Occupational Health and Safety law and provide a qualitative indication of the lighting in a workplace in comparison to Australian Standards.
Illumination Assessments are carried out by our specialists visiting workplace sites or facilities by measuring the ‘lux’ or ‘illuminance’ of a site and comparing the results to determine compliance with the recommended levels in the Australian Standards.
Our service is delivered to both small and large business across both private and public sectors in the industrial and commercial sectors.
Designed to cover both OHS regulations and cost saving options to meet the requirements of the law, power at major facilities have been saved by halving the number of luminaries in the facility without compromising the safety of the workplace.
The Occupational Health and Safety regulations 1996, states in Section 3.13 that a:-
person who, at a workplace, is an employer, the main contractor, a self-employed person, a person having control of the workplace or a person having control of access to the workplace must ensure that lighting for the workplace from natural or artificial sources or both:
- is adequate having regard to the nature and location of the work being done
- is adequate for the movement of persons about the workplace.
