The Influence of the Visual Factor on the Efficiency of Visualization Method in the Production Environment

We review the concept of negative visual factors as an important part of the new approach to assess the safety of workplaces. As the world analysis shows, the visible environment of the city is one of the main factors, that is determining the influence of negative factors at the stage of danger prevention. The key role of the environment influence on psychological state and human health is played by visual factors. Urbanization caused deterioration of the visual quality in human habitats. Urban space is formed by unnatural spatial structures which are source of homogeneous and aggressive visual fields. The negative consequences of the outdated approach to the formation of a safe working environment was the lack of consideration of modern scientific achievements in the field of visual ecology [6, 7]. The predominance of uniform in color and texture of large planes – which create homogeneous visual fields, or, conversely, its supersaturating with the same elements – which, accordingly, create an aggressive visual fields. Visual stress that may caused variety of neurological conditions and increased the risk of traumas, myopia, nystagmus, neurosis, fatigue, aggressive behavior. Improving of production and life safety can be achieved by using tools and methods of visualization in complex with optimizing the effects of the working environment on the human visual system. To reduce the risk of negative psycho-physiological effects of visual factors in the workplace and to increase the effectiveness of safety equipment through the use of visualization tools and methods, it is necessary to expand the list of dangerous and harmful production factors, supplementing it with physically harmful and dangerous visual factors.
