Chances are, you’ve taken extraordinary efforts in providing more than adequate lighting for your office areas where most of your business is conducted. If it’s a retail space, then you’ve taken proper actions to create ample lighting for your customers so that they can see and evaluate your product in a practical and desirable light. If your business is more of a cubicle environment, then your workers need adequate lighting to be able to perform as efficiently as possible. However, one area that may even require more attention for your place of business is parking lot lighting.
Having your parking lot properly illuminated is key to providing increased security and safety in the areas surrounding your business. Not only will proper lighting give your customers or clients safer access to your business, but it is also more likely to protect you, as a business owner, from any legal action if something unfortunate in the form of crime or personal injury may happen.
“A review of case law shows that environments with a specified design flaw or negligence of conditions have some traction in litigation. However, no cases show successful legal actions when spaces incorporate reasonable lighting design practice, including light levels based on appropriate design references.” (E.E. Richman, U.S. Department of Energy)
Utilizing good business sense and based on the above quotation, it stands to reason that properly illuminating your parking areas will provide your business with several advantages:
- Crime deterrent.
- Injury prevention by providing better visibility for your customers or clients.
- Customer’s peace of mind, knowing that they are safer from potential crime or personal injury.
- Your peace of mind as a business owner, knowing you will have the most protection against any form of litigation.
