Lighting and Illumination on Offshore Installations

The lighting of personnel spaces should facilitate visual task performance, facilitate movement in the space and aid in the creation of an appropriate visual environment. Lighting design involves integrating these aspects to provide adequate illumination for the safety and wellbeing of the personnel as well as for the various tasks performed on board offshore installations. The selection of appropriate illumination levels for specific tasks and seafarer spaces is an important consideration in the design of lighting systems.
