8 THE IMPACT OF CONTRACTOR ACTIVITIES<br />
8.1 NEED FOR NATURAL <strong>AND</strong> ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING OF SPACES <strong>AND</strong> ITEMS<br />
This impact tends to be caused inadvertently by contractors within the building.<br />
Issue<br />
Photo-oxidation caused by high light levels<br />
Fabric most at risk<br />
Textiles/textile dyes, paper, leather<br />
Likely form of damage<br />
Fading, brittleness, discolouration<br />
The following table identifies a number of potential Actions associated with addressing damage from viewing.<br />
Permitted Actions<br />
Additional lighting may be used in areas designated<br />
as a contractor work area. However extreme care<br />
should be taken when positioning lights to avoid<br />
combustible and fragile surfaces. Cool lights,<br />
filtered for ultraviolet radiation, should be used.<br />
Installing stable, non-abrasive, clean type of<br />
hard or soft clear protective UV cover that<br />
is removable and does not require fixing<br />
to heritage fabric to keep it in place.<br />
Repositioning of movable furniture or other portable<br />
items away from direct sources of UV damage<br />
within the same room provided it is carried out with<br />
approval and supervision from OPH Heritage staff.<br />
Introduction of freestanding UV filter or blackout<br />
screens positioned directly in front of windows.<br />
Introduction of freestanding light meters or sensors<br />
to maintain appropriate light conditions for the<br />
conservation of heritage materials and objects.<br />

Repositioning of movable furniture or other<br />
portable items without prior consultation<br />

maintain appropriate light conditions for the<br />
conservation of heritage materials and objects.<br />

Wear of floor coverings<br />
Secondary damage resulting from cleaning<br />
Fabric most at risk<br />

Installing stable, non-abrasive, clean type of hard or<br />
soft protective floor cover that is removable and does<br />

Introduction of non-fixed and non-slip mats at<br />
entrances/exits to reduce the levels of dust,<br />
grit, etc brought into the heritage building.<br />
Not Permitted Actions<br />
