Product Description

Approved American National StandardA well-designed lighting system can make an important contribution to the success of an industrial facility. The success of the well-lighted industrial environment can affect productivity, employee performance, safety, energy efficiency, health, maintenance costs, and the number of errors and lost-time accidents. Many features of a lighting system other than the quantity of light provided can make a significant contribution to the efficiency and safety of the industrial worker. Industrial facilities can at times be hazardous environments; special-case needs and considerations should be given in general for safety, general lighting, moving components, and supplemental, task, safety, and emergency lighting. The primary purpose of this document is to serve as a guide and educational tool for the design of permanently installed lighting systems for industrial facilities. The types of industrial areas addressed in this document include but are not limited to: classified (“hazardous”) areas, humid and corrosive atmospheres, high- and low- temperature areas, clean rooms, food and drug processing, warehouse and storage, inspection, component assembly, machining and metal fabrication, molding, control rooms, electronic assembly, and outdoor industrial areas.
