Inadequate lighting presents safety concerns in home, work, community, and health care environments. For an individual to safely and successfully navigate pathways and perform various activities while avoiding potential obstacles and hazards, the environment must be well illuminated. Well-lit, glare-free halls, stairways, rooms, and work spaces help to reduce the risk of tripping, slipping, and falling. Night lights reduce the risk of injuries to children, guests, and older adults. |
