Autumn is creeping in, and the working days are getting shorter and darker. Whilst this means lower temperatures and damper, wetter floorspace, it also means that workspaces, including construction sites, will be poorly lit. Here at tecproduct, we’re here to brighten things up with a range of approved and effective lighting solutions!
We’re all about keeping workers safe and protected by allowing them to see in darker environments – and this includes those darker nights and mornings as we move closer towards the winter season. Indeed, there’s lots of factors that affect our ability to see clearly:
- Focus time: The time it takes us to focus on an object is crucial. Fast moving objects are typically difficult to see.
- Object size: The size of the object we’re focussing on is also important, and smaller objects are typically harder to see.
- Brightness: Getting your brightness levels right can impact your ability to see, with too much or too little light obscuring your vision.
- Contrast: Too much or too little contrast can make it difficult to tell an object apart from its background.
Today’s construction environments are fraught with dangers and workplace hazards. However, many of these risks can be mitigated by installing effective lighting solutions across critical locations on your site. As the days are getting darker, there’s so many reasons how lighting can keep your staff and your premises protected and safe this winter:
Facilitate efficient working: The relationship between lighting levels and our productivity are well documented. Proper lighting levels prevent your eyes from unnecessary strain, making them feel less tired and drowsy throughout the working day. You can facilitate an alert and energized environment by installing approved lighting solutions from tecproducts!
Support staff welfare: Poor lighting can lead to the cause of, or worsen existing health conditions, including Sick Building System and Seasonal Affective Disorder. Such conditions can lead to symptoms like lethargy and low energy levels. By installing LED light panels, for example, you can transform dark corners and badly lit working areas whilst boosting moods and productivity with its unrivalled brightness.
Reduce accident risk: Installing appropriate lighting can significantly reduce the risk of workplace accidents on your construction site. Whilst it can reduce the likelihood of incidents by increasing the visibility of moving machinery and other safety hazards, high quality lighting solutions can also reduce the chance of incidents and injuries from momentary low field vision.
