  • Abstract
    At this time when all available man power is needed for war production, it is important that the causes of industrial accidents be investigated and eliminated. Inadequate lighting is one of these causes, although its relation to accident rate has not always been clearly perceived. Statistics indicate that industrial accident rate decreases with an increase in illumination levels, but that the decrease lessens as lighting levels are raised.
