Measure Workplace Illumination Levels with a Luxmeter Training

Learning Outcomes

• Demonstrate the correct use of a luxmeter to measure illumination levels in various workplace settings.
• Apply appropriate measurement techniques to ensure accurate and reliable readings.
• Analyze illumination data against prescribed legal and industry standards.
• Evaluate workplace lighting conditions to identify areas of non-compliance or risk.
• Report findings and recommend corrective actions to improve workplace lighting.
• Implement routine illumination monitoring as part of a workplace health and safety program.

Target Audience

This course is designed for health and safety officers, facilities managers, and any employee responsible for workplace environment monitoring. It is also suitable for those seeking to enhance their technical skills in occupational hygiene.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions allow learners to apply theoretical knowledge by using a luxmeter to measure illumination levels in various workplace areas, record data, and compare results against standards. This hands-on experience ensures competence in equipment operation and data interpretation.

Practical Activities

• Luxmeter Familiarisation and Calibration Check — Learners inspect and identify the parts of a luxmeter, perform a calibration check using a known light source, and practice switching between measurement ranges. (1h)
• Workplace Illumination Measurement Exercise — In small groups, learners measure illumination levels in at least three different work areas (e.g., office, workshop, corridor) following standard procedures, and record results on a data sheet. (1h)
• Data Interpretation and Reporting — Learners compare their recorded measurements against recommended illuminance levels from SANS 10014 and draft a brief report with findings and suggested corrective actions.

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.

Certificate

How it works

• Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
• Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.

Where to find it
