An Appraisal of Lighting Guide for Offices No. LG7
The responsibilities of the employer/facilities manager in today′s “commercial” world are extensive when considering the wellbeing of staff and the economic working of the office/building. One element of this tangled web is lighting. The recent publication by the Chartered Institute of Building Services Engineers (the professional body), Lighting Guide No. LG7, Office Lighting (1993), is an invaluable compendium in guiding professional “lighters” and the non-expert in design standards. The guide is particularly useful not only in considering good practice, but also in identifying subjects where the employer is possibly vulnerable with respect to recent EEC legislation and health and safety requirements for satisfactory VDU operations working; and emergency lighting, among others. Examines the contents of LG7, highlighting areas of particular interest and likely concerns to the inquisitive facilities manager.
