OSHA Lighting Requirements

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulates workplace safety. Jobsite lighting falls under these regulations and has specific safety standards that must be upheld to maintain a safe work site.
​
Construction sites need to be well lit so workers can see what they are doing thereby decreasing the likelihood of workplace injuries. Workers can get hurt and businesses can be sued if the proper lighting isn’t set up for your jobsite

Foot Candles and Lumens

*Note: a foot candle is a unit of illuminance or illumination, equivalent to the illumination produced by a source of one candle at a distance of one foot and equal to one lumen incident per square foot
OSHA uses foot-candles to describe their lighting requirements. However, most use Lumens as a way to measure light intensity. To convert Foot Candles to Lumens, multiply the required number of foot candles by the area that needs illumination (in sqft) to get the number of lumens you need.

For example, if you need 5-foot candles as a requirement to light your 300 square foot construction site, then you need at least 1,500 Lumens to light the area.
 
**EHSInsight provides an easy guide to OSHA’s lighting requirements for various types of jobsites:
  • First-aid stations, offices, and infirmaries: 30 foot-candles
  • General construction plants and shops: 10 foot-candles
  • General construction area: 5 foot-candles
  • Warehouses, walkways, corridors, exits, and other indoor spaces: 5 foot-candles
  • General underground work areas, including shafts and tunnels: 5 foot-candles
  • Concrete placement, waste areas, loading platforms, active storage areas, field maintenance areas, refueling areas, and excavation sites: 3 foot-candles

***You can search specific regulations on the OSHA’s website
