Illumination in the workplace in South Africa is governed by the Machinery and Occupational Safety Act, 1983 (Act 6 of 1983), updated on 7 March 2003.
An illumination assessment is a careful examination of the illumination conditions in a work environment. It aims to:
- Identify potential hazards due to the current illumination conditions, such as insufficient illumination, excessive contrast glare or flicker.
- Decide which employees are affected by these issues.
- Evaluate the risks and decide whether improvement measures are required to protect employees.
During an illumination assessment, assigned certified specialists from Strat Environment will come and assess your workplace environment. At this point, the specialist will highlight problems that could be preventing the capabilities of your employees, and describe how to fix them properly.
