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
