Light intensity standards in factories and warehouses

          Lighting in factories and warehouses Many factors must be taken into account. Both in terms of light intensity, light control, light direction, adequacy of illumination in that area. And most importantly, should consider the efficiency of the vision of the eyes. Because if there is too little light, it may affect the eyesight, eye fatigue, dizziness. resulting in reduced performance and may cause accidents at work If the light is calculated well enough It will help to work more efficiently. in each area of ​​the factory and warehouse There are different uses.

          Today, LeKise will come to know about Light intensity standards in factories and warehouses According to the announcement from the Department of Labor Protection and Welfare.

Standards for Light Intensity, announced on 27 November 2017 and still in force until now.

          By requiring the employer to arrange the workplace to have the intensity of light not lower than the announced standard Each area is divided the lux (Lux) as follows.

1. Areas of general use
  • Areas where an average illumination intensity of 50 (lux) is required: first aid recovery room, rest room.
  • Areas requiring an average illumination intensity of 100 (lux): guardhouses, restrooms, shower rooms, storage rooms.

2. Area used in the production process or performance
  • Areas where an average illumination intensity of 200 (lux) is required : warehouse, loading and unloading yard, moving warehouse, control room.
  • Areas where the average illumination intensity of 300 (lux) is required : Production preparation area Raw material preparation, packaging area, process area/machine working area

3. Areas in general areas with traffic of people (outside the building)
  • Areas where an average illumination intensity of 50 (lux) is required : parking lot, main entrance of an establishment.

4. Areas in general areas with people's traffic (inside the building)
  • Areas subject to an average illumination intensity of 100 (lux): corridors, stairs, entrance halls, elevators.

          Therefore, if we arrange lighting in a working area, it works well. will result in efficient work and enabling the production of standardized products to the consumers.

          Announcement of the Department of Labor Protection and Welfare regarding the standard of light intensity is not only this Next time Lekise will come to give knowledge. Don't forget to keep following.
