Analysis of Lighting Condition in Cutting Area

Abstract

Working environment factors such as temperature, humidity, lighting condition, sound level, and etc can give impact to work result. Bad lighting conditions can lead to faster fatigue, decreased work productivity or even to work accident. This research was conducted in coachbuilder / auto body manufacturer. Objective of this research is to analyze lighting condition in cutting area. Based on initial measurement, lighting level is only 30 lux, while the standard of lighting level based on Indonesian regulation is 200 lux. This lead to 40% of work accident in 2015 in the manufacturer plant. Lighting level was measured by lux meter in several points of measurement based on Indonesian Standard in SNI 16-7062-2004. From the research, the required of lumen and number of bulb was calculated for cutting area. Based on the analysis result, this research recommend adding 4 LED lamps in operator's working area. The usage of LED lamps can lead to reduce energy consumption.
