Harbor worker in an orange safety vest walks between tall stacks of shipping containers in twilight with poor lighting.

The risks of poor lighting in a terminal include: * **Increased risk of accidents:** Poor visibility can lead to trips, falls, and collisions, especially in high-traffic areas. * **Reduced operational efficiency:** It can be difficult for staff to perform tasks, read documents, or operate machinery safely and effectively. * **Eye strain and fatigue:** Insufficient light forces workers to squint and strain their eyes, leading to discomfort, headaches, and reduced productivity. * **Security concerns:** Dimly lit areas can provide cover for unauthorized activities and make it harder for security personnel to monitor the premises. * **Poor product (or cargo) inspection:** In areas where goods are handled or inspected, poor lighting can lead to missed defects or incorrect assessments. * **Impact on morale:** A poorly lit environment can feel unwelcoming and unsafe, negatively affecting employee morale and well-being. * **Damage to goods:** Mishandling due to poor visibility can result in damage to cargo or products.
