Appropriate lighting can reduce eye fatigue and headaches; it can prevent workplace incidents by increasing the visibility of moving machinery and other safety hazards.
Among the major direct and indirect benefits adequate lighting provides are improved visibility, upgraded aesthetics, better employee morale, reduced absenteeism, less eye fatigue and headaches, enhanced security, improved quality control and fewer rejects.
Improved lighting in the workplace can improve assembly accuracy and potentially speed up assembly operations.
Consider how much profit could be realized if a 1% gain in productivity could be gained with improved facility and workplace lighting. What about a 5% reduction in safety occurrences? What does this mean in insurance costs and workmen’s compensation claims? If overall product quality were improved by 3% what does that mean to the cost of defective goods and customer quality claims. Improved lighting can both improve quality during the production process and in the QC and inspection stations.
