Subject: Light illumination in laboratories

All,

 

The question came up recently at our laboratory; Are the re any specific regulations regarding required or even recommended light intensities in foot candles for analytical labs?

 

The only thing I could come up with at the moment was in the Handbook of Chemical Health and Safety< /span> by Robert J. Alaimo.  It recommended that the light intensity at the b ench for typical chemistry labs to range between 80-100 foot candles.

 

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Mike
