Inadequate Lighting Accident - lighting in stairways



In an area that has not been lit adequately, it becomes more difficult to move around safely and the risk of having an accident is increased substantially.

The most common accidents caused by inadequate lighting in the workplace are slips, trips and falls. Slips, trips and falls can be caused by poor lighting inside a workplace or in adequate lighting outside a workplace.

It is an employer’s responsibility to ensure every area of the workplace is lit adequately so employees are not at risk of sustaining an injury by slipping, tripping or falling.

Inadequate lighting in stairways is a particular hazard for employees as they will find it difficult to see steps or stairs - this could result in an employee misjudging their step and sustaining serious injuries by falling down the stairs.

Where inadequate lighting in the workplace has caused an employee to have an accident, it is possible that compensation will be payable by the employers liability insurance.
