Izindaba

Kuzwakala kanjani ukusebenza ezindaweni ezimnyama? Izibani ezikhanyayo kakhulu zingase zingakhululeki amehlo akho futhi zibe nomthelela empilweni yakho.

Ikhanya kahle kangakanani indawo yakho yokusebenza? Akhanya kangakanani ama-bulb futhi yiziphi izibani ozisebenzisayo? UMnyango Wezabasebenzi Wase-US Wezokuphepha Nokuphathwa Kwezempilo ubeke izindinganiso zokukhanyisa ukuze zikuqondise.

Ukubekela abasebenzi bakho indawo ekahle yokukhanyisa ehhovisi kuyimpahla ebalulekile ekukhuliseni umkhiqizo. Ukukhanyisa kubumba indawo yokusebenza. Inquma isimo nokunethezeka kwabasebenzi. Unalokhu engqondweni, ungase uzibuze ukuthi yiziphi izindinganiso zokukhanyisa ezifanele indawo yakho yokusebenza?

Qhubeka ufunda lo mhlahlandlela wezindinganiso zokukhanyisa endaweni yokusebenza ukuze uthuthukise indawo yakho yokusebenza.

IMITHETHO YOKUKHANYA ENDAWENI YOKUSEBENZA NGOKWE-OSHA

UMnyango Wezabasebenzi Wase-US Wezokuphepha Nokuphathwa Kwezempilo (OSHA) ushicilela isethi yamazinga aphelele. Baqinisekisa izimo zokusebenza eziphephile kubasebenzi kuzo zonke izimboni. Isungulwe ngo-1971, le nhlangano ishicilele amakhulukhulu ezindinganiso zokuphepha nemihlahlandlela.

Imithetho ye-OSHA yokukhanyisa emsebenzini isekelwe ezingeni elaziwa ngokuthi Ukulawula Amandla Ayingozi (Ukukhiya/Ukuphuma). Ngokungeziwe ezinhlelweni zokukhiya/i-Tagout, abaqashi kufanele balandele izinqubo ezithile lapho bekhanyisa indawo yokusebenza.

I-OSHA incike kuSigaba 5193 soMthetho Wenqubomgomo Yamandla ka-1992 ukuze inikeze imihlahlandlela kubaqashi ukuze bagcine indawo yokusebenza enhle. Lesi sigaba somthetho sidinga ukuthi zonke izakhiwo zamahhovisi zigcine izinga elincane lokukhanya. Lokhu okokwehlisa i-glare futhi kunikeze abasebenzi indawo ephephile.

Nokho, lesi senzo asicacisi noma yimaphi amazinga amancane okukhanya. Kunalokho kudinga abaqashi ukuthi bahlole uhlelo lwabo lokukhanyisa ukuze bahlangabezane nezidingo zabasebenzi.

Ukukhanya okwanele kuncike esimweni somsebenzi kanye nempahla esetshenzisiwe. Kufanele kube khona ukukhanya okwanele ukuze abasebenzi benze imisebenzi yabo ngokuphepha nangempumelelo.

Ukukhanya kukalwa ngamakhandlela ezinyaweni futhi kufanele okungenani kube amakhandlela amafidi ayishumi phansi. Kungenjalo, kungaba u-20% wokukhanya okumaphakathi okuphezulu endaweni yokusebenza.

AMAZINGA OKUKHANYA EMSEBENZINI

Izinkampani eziningi azikunaki ukukhanyisa kwamahhovisi kanye namalambu awonga amandla. Baphuthelwa yizinzuzo zokukhanya okukhulu. Ngeke nje kwenze abasebenzi bajabule futhi bakhiqize kakhudlwana, kodwa futhi kuzosindisa izikweletu zamandla.

Okubalulekile ukuthola ikhwalithi efanele yokukhanya. Yini okufanele uyibheke ku-bulb?

1. Sebenzisa isibani sekhwalithi ephezulu esigcwele i-spectrum
2. Amalambu e-LED ahlala cishe izikhathi ezingama-25 ubude kunama-fluorescent bulb
3. Kufanele zilinganiswe nge-Energy Star
4. Izinga lokushisa lombala lizoba ngu-5000K

5000 K izinga lokushisa lombala lokukhanya kwasemini kwemvelo. Ayiluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka kakhulu futhi ayiphuzi kakhulu. Ungathola zonke lezi zici kusibani se-fluorescent, kodwa ngeke zihlale isikhathi eside njengezibani ze-LED. Nazi izindinganiso ezimbalwa zokukhanyisa endaweni yokusebenza ezichazwe.

Eyokuqala yalezi zindinganiso imfuneko yokukhanya okumaphakathi (lux). Kutuswa ukuthi ukukhanya okumaphakathi kufanele okungenani kube yi-250 lux. Lokhu kungaphansi kwe-beam yebhokisi lokukhanya le-fluorescent elingu-5 by 7-foot ekuphakameni okungamafidi angu-6 ukusuka phansi.

Ukukhanya okunjalo kuvumela ukukhanya okwanele ukuba izisebenzi zikwazi ukubona ngaphandle kokucija amehlo azo.

Eyesibili yalezi zindinganiso ukukhanya okunconyiwe (i-lux) kwemisebenzi ethile. Isibonelo, ukukhanya okuncane kokupheka ekhishini kufanele kube okungenani i-1000 lux. Ukulungiselela ukudla, kufanele kube yi-500 lux.

AMACEBISO AMAZINGA OKUKHANYA WOKUSEBENZA

Ukukhanyisa kuyingxenye ebalulekile yendawo yokusebenza. Ingasetha ithoni yendawo, idale ukugxila, futhi ithuthukise ukukhiqiza kwabasebenzi.

Ukukhanyisa okudingekayo esikhaleni kuncike ezintweni ezimbalwa. Kunezinto ezimbalwa okufanele uzicabangele lapho unquma izimfuneko zokukhanyisa ezimaphakathi zezindawo zokusebenza ezihlukene.

UHLOBO LENDAWO YOKUSEBENZA KANYE IMISEBENZI YAYO

Izidingo zokukhanyisa ziyahlukahluka kuye ngohlobo lomsebenzi esikhaleni. Isibonelo, igumbi lesimo lizoba nezidingo ezihlukile zokukhanyisa kunegumbi lokufundela.

Indawo enokukhanya okuningi ngeke ikukhulule ukuphumula nokulala. Ubumnyama kakhulu kuzovimbela ukugxilisa ingqondo nokusebenza kahle. Ukuthola ukulingana phakathi kokukhanya nobumnyama kuyindaba ebalulekile.

ISIKHATHI SESUKU

Izibani zidinga ukushintsha usuku lonke futhi. Isibonelo, indawo yokusebenza esetshenziswa phakathi nosuku izoba nezidingo ezihlukile zokukhanyisa kunaleyo esetshenziswa ebusuku.

Amahora okukhanya emini abiza ukukhanya kwemvelo futhi ungasebenzisa amafasitela noma ama-skylights ukuze uzuze. Izibani zokwenziwa kufanele zisetshenziswe kuphela phakathi nosuku uma umsebenzi udinga ukubona isikrini. Uma lezi zibani zisetshenziswa ebusuku, zingabangela ikhanda kanye nokucindezeleka kwamehlo.

ISIKHATHI SOMNYAKA

Ukukhanyisa kudinga ukushintsha unyaka wonke futhi. Isibonelo, indawo yokusebenza esetshenziswa ebusika ingase idinge ukukhanyiswa okungaphezu kweyodwa esetshenziswa ehlobo.

NgokukaDkt. Michael V. Vitiello, uprofesa wezifo zamehlo e-University of California eLos Angeles (UCLA), amehlo ethu adinga izinga elithile lokukhanya ukuze abone kahle. Uma kukhanya kakhulu, abafundi bethu bazoncipha, okuzokwenza ukuthi singaboni kahle.

INANI LOKUKHANYA KWEMVELO ELITHOLAKALA

Uma kungenakukhanya kwemvelo okwanele, kuzodingeka izibani zokwenziwa. Ukuqina kokukhanya nezinga lokushisa lombala kuyahlukahluka kuye ngokutholakala kokukhanya kwemvelo.

Uma unokukhanya kwemvelo okwengeziwe, udinga ukukhanya okuncane okwenziwayo.

INANI LESIKHATHI ISIKHALA ESISETSHENZISWAYO

Ukukhanyisa ekamelweni elisetshenziswe isikhathi esifushane kuhlukile ekukhanyeni ekamelweni isikhathi eside. I-cloakroom isetshenziswa isikhathi esifushane, ngokungafani negumbi elifana nekhishi.

Kokunye, nquma isu elifanele lokukhanyisa.

THUTHUKISA INDAWO YAKHO YOKUSEBENZA UKUKHANYA NAMUHLA

Indawo ekhanyiswe kahle ibalulekile ukuze kube nemizwa efanele, ukukhiqiza, kanye nempilo. Zonke izindawo kufanele zikhanyise ngokulinganayo ukuze uqinisekise ukuthi indawo osebenzela kuyo ihlangabezana nalezi zindinganiso zokukhanyisa. Kufanele abe nokukhanya okwanele ngaphandle kokubukeka kabi kakhulu noma ukucwayiza.

I-OSTOOMinikeza izixazululo zokukhanyisa kuzo zonke izinhlobo zezindawo zokusebenza. Siletha imikhiqizo namasevisi ekhwalithi ephezulu kumakhasimende ethu. Xhumana nathi namuhla ukuze uthole izixazululo ezifanele zokukhanyisa.
