A detailed analysis of ergonomic conditions in the workplace is focused on this research, with particular attention on lighting conditions. The direct impact of proper lighting on employee health, safety, and performance is where the importance of this research relies. To ensure fairness and compliance with standards, NOM-025-STPS-2008: Lighting Conditions in Workplaces, a crucial regulation in Mexico that defines the minimum lighting requirements to ensure a safe and pleasant work environment. The establishment of the lighting level in different areas of the organization was aimed at, thereby allowing for the detection of potential failures that could adversely affect staff performance and well-being. The methodology used was organized into two fundamental stages. During the first stage, a detailed initial analysis of the current lighting conditions was conducted. Based on the findings of this diagnosis, a comprehensive improvement plan was developed and implemented. In the second stage, after the corrective actions were implemented, a new assessment of the lighting conditions was conducted. The effectiveness of the implemented actions was evaluated, and the impact of the improvements was quantified by this review. The PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) continuous improvement cycle was used for the development of the entire process, which facilitated not only the solutions' implementation but also the ongoing supervision and monitoring of actions, thus ensuring that an ideal work environment that complies with ergonomic and occupational safety standards was achieved.
