This infographic illustrates how LED area lighting, strategically placed, can offer a simple, cost-effective, and practical solution for enhancing equipment operator safety when getting on and off equipment and during pre-shift walkaround inspections. Although headlamps provide adequate illumination, LED area lighting illuminates a much broader area and can increase awareness of slip-trip-fall (STF) hazards.
