When it comes to emergency lighting, compliance is not just about ticking boxes—it’s about ensuring safety and avoiding serious legal trouble. Let’s break down why following emergency lighting regulations is crucial and what could happen if you don’t.
Emergency lighting is essential for guiding people to safety during power outages or emergencies. In the UK, these rules are outlined by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which mandates proper illumination of emergency routes and exits.
To comply, businesses must:
- Install emergency lighting: this is mandatory in public buildings, workplaces, and other places where people gather.
- Maintain the systems: regular testing and upkeep are necessary to ensure functionality.
- Keep records: document all maintenance and testing activities accurately.
