The quicker and easier it is to see a hazard, the more easily it is avoided.

Lighting at work is very important to the health and safety of everyone using the workplace.

HSE have released a publication which offers guidance on:

  • Assessment and management of risks attributable to poor lighting
  • What constitutes good practice
  • The minimum recommended levels of lighting.
