Did You Know? Illumination Level

DID YOU KNOW - LOSS PREVENTION EDITION (ILLUMINATION LEVEL)

Good and appropriate illumination can increase productivity, work efficiency, reduce work errors and accidents. Most industries, both factories, and warehouses combine natural and artificial illumination to create better illumination.

In accordance with the Decree of Minister of Health (Kep-MenKes) RI No. 70/2016 that illumination level has a threshold value (NAV):

Lower illumination levels can have negative impacts on worker health and safety, including:

Eye fatigue – Irritation of the eyes, decreased visual acuity, reduced contrast sensitivity
Nerve fatigue – Sluggish movements, impaired motor
Work fatigue – Stress, lack of enthusiasm, reduce concentration
Increase the risk of work accidents

We hope that the above information can help you to ensure that every workplace has enough level of illumination to prevent accidents that can cause material loss and personal injury.
