Abstract
An ergonomic intervention in a textile company was conducted after an initial request focusing on the recrudescence of workers’ visual complaints, and the defects of articles at the end of the chain. This intervention included three stages: an initial evaluation of the lighting atmosphere of the 6 workshops, an improvement of the compliance with industrial lighting standards and a re-evaluation of the lighting atmosphere. The total study population was composed of 718 workers, spread in six workshops. The evaluation concluded of non-compliance with the lighting standards of 60% of the workstations studied.
