The aim of the publication is ergonomic analysis and evaluation of lighting physical parameters for selected laboratory of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Technical University of Košice. The reason for the analysis is planned modernization of the laboratory and the identification of possible environmental risk factors for their optimization during the modernization process. The results of the measurements were assessed regarding the valid standards. In case of unsatisfactory conditions, their optimization was proposed, meeting the ergonomic, safety and hygienic parameters according to the valid legislation.

Keywords: ergonomics 1; working environment 2; ergonomic analysis 3; lighting 4
