Additional Services

 

To explain a little bit more on the services Labcraft can offer we can visit you to perform a light test on an existing vehicle to give you an idea on the current light levels you have.  The minimum light level required on a health and safely view is 20 lux, in all the years we have been performing light tests we have not found a vehicle that passes this requirement (unless they were already using Labcraft lights) Once we have ascertained your current levels of light output we will advise on possible products that will suit the layout of the vehicle, give you optimum illumination and meet the requirements you have on power draw.  We believe in seeing is believing so we can also demonstrate the new lights in the vehicle, a second light test will be performed and the results recorded.  Labcraft will then issue you with a report detailing all the results and our recommendations.

Once you have a lighting solution that meets the minimum health and safety standards, Labcraft will issue the tested vehicle with a certificate indicating the light levels of the vehicle.

 Extracts from HSE recommendations

" Every employer shall ensure that suitable and sufficient lighting, which takes account of the operations to be carried out, is provided at any place where a person uses work equipment"

 

"any place where a person uses work equipment should be suitably and sufficiently lit……the lighting should be adequate for the needs of the task…..Guidance is contained in HSE's guidance Lighting at Work"

(Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998, regulation 21, para 292 –296)

 

"Poor lighting conditions can increase the risk of injury. Dimness or glare may cause poor posture….Contrast between areas of bright light and deep shadow can cause tripping hazards and hinder the accurate judgement of height and distance."

(Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992, Reg. 4(11) (b) "Assessment of risk")
