DGMS Annual Report, 2009 It is, therefore recommended to implement the above scheme and regularly update the fire fighting plan maintained at the mine. No. DGMS (Tech)/Circular No./ 04 Dhanbad, Dated – 16 th February, 2009 To, Owner/Agent/Manager of All Mines. Sub :- Use of only Approved Types and Standards of Luminaries for Lighting in Mines. Sir, 1.0 INTRODUCTION Lighting is an essential environmental component for any working place, whether buildings, roads, offices, factories, stationery or mobile equipment, machines or any other installation and plants. It has a direct bearing on the efficiency of manpower and machine in addition to its effect on personal health. It is also well established that inadequacy of light and long exposure to inadequate lighting conditions lead to numerous eye slight problems and ill effects on human body. It is also known that over exposure to light is equally dangerous to human body. Various researches and studies have been carried out on this subject and different standards of lighting for specified objectives and operations have been prescribed by different countries and Standard Organizations. Bare lamps causing glare are still in frequent evidence. In many cases the quantity of light generated is sufficient, but only a small percentage of the light reaches the work, by reason of failure to equip the lamps with suitable reflectors. “The question of artificial lighting is of special importance at the present time when night work is general, and common in mines. Notwithstanding the important bearing which good eyesight must have upon output, the question is not today receiving adequate attention at the hands of those whose duty it is to obtain this output. Bad lighting affects output unfavorably, not only by making good and rapid work more difficult, but also by causing headaches and other effects of eye-strain. Incidence of accidents due to poor lighting conditions and glare at the eyes of the driver operating vehicles and HEMMs has also increased in recent past. Instance have come under the notice of this Directorate, of headaches and eye-strain resulting from (a) inadequate light, both artificial and natural; (b) artificial light, adequate in amount, but so placed as to throw a glare on the eyes of the workers; (c) employment of workers, whose eyesight should be aided by suitable glasses, to carry out fine work without first testing their eyesight.” In view of the conditions prevailing at the mines and their effects on health and safety of the persons employed therein, it is imperative to re-examine the issue of lighting in the perspective of advancement made in Lighting and Photometry 157
