Locating Your Emergency Lights
Installing emergency lights in your premises is not just about showing users the fire exits. Lights must be carefully located to provide sufficient illumination according to the different areas of a premises and must conform to the latest legislation. Emergency Lighting Planning
Planning your emergency lighting installation does not have to be confusing. Whilst it can be easy to miss out important areas / locations in your premises, our helpful step by step guide will direct you in what to look out for and what needs to be addressed. Testing Emergency Lighting
Fitting an emergency lighting system in your premises is mandatory for most businesses. Ensuring that the right units are chosen and installed is only half of the job. Maintaining the units and ensuring continual compliance is an ongoing responsibility. In this section we detail what you as the 'responsible person' are obliged to do.
Viewing Distances for Exit Signs
Escape route signs should be installed in a premises to indicate to users which directions to follow in the event of an emergency evacuation. All escape route and fire safety signs must conform to British Standards in order to be deemed safe, ensuring that the text, colour and images on signs are comprehensible from "safe" distances.
