Light Surveys and Illumination Assessments

In Calgary and Southern Alberta

Optimizing Workplace Lighting for Safety, Comfort, and Productivity

Proper lighting is essential for maintaining a safe, efficient, and comfortable work environment. Inadequate or excessive illumination can contribute to eye strain, fatigue, reduced accuracy, and increased accident risk. Doctor IAQ Inc. provides professional light survey assessments to help employers meet Alberta OHS Code requirements and ensure optimal lighting conditions for every workspace.

With more than 30 years of industrial hygiene and environmental assessment experience, we deliver clear, data‑driven insights and practical recommendations tailored to your facility.

Why Light Surveys Matter

Lighting directly affects how people perform and feel at work. Poor illumination can lead to:

  • Eye strain and headaches
  • Reduced concentration and productivity
  • Increased risk of slips, trips, and errors
  • Discomfort and fatigue
  • Non‑compliance with occupational lighting standards

Doctor IAQ Inc. helps identify lighting deficiencies and provides actionable solutions to improve both safety and performance.
