Lux Light Level Reading

Axiom Compliance provides a service that helps employers create and maintain a visual environment in which essential task detail is visually enhanced. We identify factors that may cause visual fatigue in order to appropriately control the working environment. Satisfaction of these objectives is of importance in promoting efficiency and well being in workplaces, and cannot be achieved merely by supplying some specified quantity of light on the task area. While the provision of sufficient luminance on the task is a necessary element, in many instances task visibility depends more on the way in which the light is applied.

Furthermore, creation of the comfortable visual conditions which people require in order to maintain efficiency throughout the whole work period depends less on the quantity of light than on factors such as the distribution of light throughout the workplace; the use of suitable finishes on the walls, ceiling and equipment; the choice of luminaries with adequate glare control; the elimination of unwanted reflections; and so on.

Attention to all of these factors produces ‘good quality lighting’. Experience has shown that when inefficiency, eye fatigue, spoilt work or accidents are blamed on the lighting system, failure to meet one or more of the ‘quality’ recommendations is usually the true cause of the problem. Even in cases where the luminance is apparently too low, this is seldom the sole reason for the complaint. Axiom Compliance is of the view that the greatest scope for increased productivity lies with improvement in lighting quality rather than in the provision of higher luminance.

Axiom Compliance can evaluate your lighting levels using highly advanced equipment to not only keep you compliant with requirements within the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations but also detect problem areas that may affect staff's productivity. Solutions can range from changing desk positions, replacing luminaries to additional lighting all of which Axiom Compliance can implement, always keeping in mind the most cost effective solution.
