LED Lights Promote Industrial Lighting Efficiency in the GTA

Poorly Lit Workspaces are Dangerous!

The statistics are surprising, even shocking. Every year hundreds of thousands of Canadians are injured in their workspaces. Prominent among the causes of these accidents are slips, trips, falls and coming into dangerous contact with machinery. Warehouses are prime offenders, with darkened aisles, clutter and uneven floors.

In many cases workplace accidents are the result of poor lighting. In fact, one study has shown that better workspace lighting can reduce mishaps by as much as 60%. Poor lighting can also result in other health issues as well, including eye fatigue and headaches as well as negatively impacting concentration.

Insufficient exterior lighting can also cause accidents outside the building and allow for possible criminal activity.

LED Retrofitting Promotes Workplace Efficiency as Well

A workplace retrofit -- replacing antiquated lighting with LED lights can dramatically improve safety and efficiency. Studies have shown that the white light of LEDs reduces worker fatigue and raises alertness. There is much less maintenance involved with LEDs – replacement of bulbs is rarely needed, so less employee time spent on dangerous ladders. Most important, LED lights cast a uniform, strong glow without the glare – making the obstacles on those narrow warehouse alleys visible to workers.

Improved industrial lighting in the workplace promotes both safety and efficiency – and a LED retrofit is the solution.
