Good office lighting is important, more so for staff who use computers for most of their working day. Workplace Health and Safety Regulations state that every office should have suitable and sufficient lighting, and that it should as far as possible be by natural light.
Suitable lighting will not only enhance your workplace it will also have a significant effect on how your staff feel and can have an impact on how they perform. The main considerations we take in to account when specifying lighting:
- Maximum provision of natural daylight.
- Avoidance of fluorescent lighting where possible.
- Maximum control by individual workers of ambient lighting.
- Avoidance of dazzle and glare.
- Suitable positioning of light switches.
