What is included in the provision for open fluorescent fixtures?

The provision for open fluorescent fixtures includes various safety features designed to protect both the fixtures and individuals in the surrounding area. Wire guards are often used to provide a physical barrier, significantly reducing the risk of breakage and falling debris. Lenses serve as a protective cover for the light source, which also helps in managing the dispersion of light and reducing glare. Tube guards and locks are additional safeguards that secure fluorescent tubes in place and prevent them from coming loose or breaking, further enhancing safety.

Collectively, these components contribute to a comprehensive approach to maintaining safety in environments where fluorescent lighting is used. By including all of these protective elements, the provision aims to minimize hazards associated with fluorescent lighting, ensuring both functional illumination and worker safety.
