(a)
Only safety has been considered, because no perception of detail is needed and visual fatigue is unlikely. However, where it is necessary to see detail to recognise a hazard or where error in performing the
task could put someone else at risk, for safety purposes as well as to avoid visual fatigue, the figure needs to be increased to that for work requiring the perception of detail. The CIBSE (Code for interior lighting) gives more information and recommendation based on scientific knowledge, practical experience, technical feasibility and economic reality.
(b)
The purpose is to avoid fatigue; the illuminances will be adequate for safety purposes.
(c)
The purpose is to avoid fatigue; the illuminances will be adequate for safety purposes.
(d)
The purpose is to avoid fatigue; the illuminances will be adequate for safety purposes.
