Create a Plan

  1. Draw out the project area noting types of work and locations of workers and equipment
  2. Determine the need of stationary and portable lighting
  3. Consider how you are going to power these lights
  4. Choose a Light source
  5. Place the lights and do a field observation for glare and shadows

Ensure You are Complying with OSHA Lighting Regulations

​When you consider your lighting options, you need to keep OSHA lighting safety standards in mind.

Levels of Lighting

**There are three levels of lighting for different work zone considerations.
  • Level I: All work operations areas; setup of lane or road closures, lane closure tapers, and flagging stations. Level I illuminance is important in areas where the work crew is in motion, moving from spot to spot. This level of illuminance is appropriate for tasks requiring low accuracy, involving slow-moving equipment, and where there are large objects to be seen. Level I illuminance requires 5-foot candles (fc) of average maintained illuminance.
  • Level II: Areas on or around construction equipment; asphalt paving, milling, and concrete placement/removal. Level II illuminance is recommended for areas on or around construction equipment to provide a safer environment for the workers operating the equipment, allowing them to perform tasks that require a moderate level of accuracy. Level II illuminance requires 10 fc of average maintained illuminance.
  • Level III: Pavement or structural crack/pothole filling; joint repair, pavement patching/repairs; installation of signal/electrical/mechanical equipment. Level III illuminance is appropriate for those tasks that require a greater level of visual acuity or for tasks with a higher level of difficulty. Level III illuminance requires 20 fc of average maintained illuminance.
