Identificación de riesgos del nivel de iluminación de aulas, talleres y laboratorios de la Facultad de Mecánica – ESPOCH bajo normas vigentes.

Abstract

This research project has real and reliable information which aim is to analyze the optimal level of illumination of the current state of classrooms, workshops and latoratories of the Faculty of Mechanically at ESPOCH, it should be emphasized that the analysis of it was made under the paramenters by the standard UNE – EN 12464-1 (lighting of the workplace). For the analysis of the light level, it was decided to purchase a ligth meter Extech brand model HD450, the same used for the evaluation, the method was applied and taken from the Mexican standard NOM-025-STPS-2008 (method of the grids) and programmed in Excel 2013 for designing the evalation results are displayed better, faster and dynamic tables. Standardizing the lighting level is one of the key proposals to improve the visual comfort, avoiding health risks such as: eye disorders, pain or swelling of the eyelids, eye strain, headaches, and mood effects. To keep within the paramenters of existing rules, the procedure for frequent maintenance of the lights, windows, blinds and / or curtains thus generating processes instructions and records are generated. Another objective is the implementation of DIALUX software in order to make continuous improvements in the future either in new construction or remodeling of the areas of academic activity of the Faculty of Mechanics.
