Light and productivity
Good lighting in the workplace
Good lighting in the workplace with well-lit task areas is essential for optimizing performance, especially with an aging workforce. The beneficial effects of good lighting are now known to extend much further than it was originally thought. In fact, over the last two decades medical science has consistently shown that light can have a positive influence on health and well-being.
The results are clear
Better lighting improves performance. Increasing light levels from 300 lux to 2000 lux improves productivity by 8%, increases tasks performance by 16% and reduces rejects by 29%. It also makes a positive contribution to safety, reducing accidents rates by 52%. Absenteeism, general health and well-being are also improved. All of which could make a clear difference to business, whatever your industry.
