Popis:	Contractors and owners use various techniques to provide temporary lighting for buildings under construction. The purpose of the temporary lighting is to give workers a safe and productive environment in which to work. OSHA sets minimum standards for the quantity of light needed for safety, but studies have shown that many construction sites do not meet minimum lighting requirements. OSHA sets minimum standards but does not provide guidance on how to achieve those standards. The following work looks at four common lighting systems and evaluates their effectiveness in meeting the OSHA standards. A vacant warehouse was chosen for the lighting study to simulate a construction site and to eliminate variables other than the lighting system. The results of the tests showed the positive and negative aspects of all four systems, both quantitatively and qualitatively. A cost comparison was made to compare the installation, maintenance, and energy cost for each system. Project managers can use the information to cr...
