Emergency Light Testing
Emergency Lighting: Ensuring Safe Evacuations
Emergency lighting systems are more than just a safety feature; they’re a legal necessity for commercial and industrial buildings. Installed to facilitate safe evacuation in emergencies, their proper maintenance is crucial.
Not only is this mandated by statutory requirements, but it’s often a stipulation for insurance coverage. At its core, the essence of emergency lighting is to protect both you and your staff in moments that matter most.
The Necessity of Emergency Light Testing
Consistent inspection and certification of emergency lighting systems are key to ensuring full compliance with BS5266-1 standards. The goal is to verify that these lights function correctly during power failures and meet the legislative requirements.
According to BS5266, only ‘competent’ persons—individuals with the requisite knowledge, skills, and training—should perform these crucial servicing procedures. Regular inspections can secure the reliability of these systems, allowing for safe building evacuation in emergencies.
