Fire Safety Law starts with a fire risk assessment. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 states the requirements of a ‘Responsible Person’ to carry out a fire risk assessment which will consider the likelihood of fire for example fire hazards, and the consequence of a fire, which would be the measures currently in place or required in the event of a fire. Within this assessment the provision of emergency lighting requirements must be included.
All emergency lighting systems should be function tested monthly as stipulated in BS 5266, usually by the customer by isolating the supply to the lighting circuit to ensure that all lights are operating correctly.
If you have a Maintenance Contract with us our Engineer, we will make a minimum of 2 visits annually to carry out an in-depth test of your systems.
During a fire, should the mains fail all emergency lights should stay illuminated for at least 1 hour – 3hours.
It is important that you can evacuate a building quickly & safely, and a fully functioning emergency lighting system and fire signage is vital in enabling this.
