2.4.2.1

Are glare and reflection from lighting avoided?

Direct glare and reflections on displays cause discomfort and problems reading displays.

The choice of fittings influences reflections significantly. Indirect lighting should be considered used. Fittings should be to the side rather than behind workstations, perpendicular to displays. Adjustable/flexible fittings are recommended. Displays should be tiltable and antireflection coating or a matt finish should be used. Also check possibilities of glare from emergency lighting.
