Incorrect lighting has been the cause of many serious accidents in the workplace – in a production environment, poor lighting can cause obscurity of vision – an example of this would be a machine could appear stopped when in fact it is moving.
Poor lighting in an office environment can lead to eye strain, fatigue and uncooperative staff. Staff working in front of screens all day need the correct lighting to ensure they do not endure health problems.
When considering lighting, it is important to think about the type of work that is going to be carried out – will is be close, accurate work or will it be lighting for more general purposes such as corridor lighting? To ensure the right type of lighting will be installed in your London business, consideration must be given to colour, glare and constant amongst other factors.
This is why it is important to use a qualified electrician to design and install your lighting requirements in your business in London. Fulcher Edwards are lighting designers and installers in London and have been taking care of the lighting in many London businesses over the last 30 years.
Deciding on the correct lighting in the workplace can seem like a technical and difficult task – this is why it is better to leave it to an electrician who understands the workplace lighting regulations and can work with you to develop a great cost effective lighting solution for your business in London.
Recent studies carried out by the Health and Safety Executive have shown that employees like to control their own lighting and this increases job satisfaction and decrease stress in the workplace.
