There are a number of measures that can be used to prevent and control poor
lighting conditions in the work environment:
Regular maintenance of the lighting system should be carried out to clean
or replace old bulbs and faulty lamp circuits.
A light-colored matte finish on walls, ceilings, and floors to reduce glare is
recommended by the Illuminating Engineering Society.
Whenever possible, office workers should not face windows, unshielded
lamps, or other sources of glare.
Adjustable shades should be used if workers face a window.
Diffuse light will help reduce shadows. Indirect lighting and task lighting are
recommended, especially when work spaces are separated by dividers.
Task lamps are very effective in supplementing general office lighting for
those who require or prefer additional lighting. Some task lamps permit
several light levels.
