Explore the crucial considerations of emergency lighting to ensure that your facility is safe and compliant.
Emergency Lighting is essential for the safety of occupants in all buildings where people meet. Under the Regulatory Reform Order (Fire Safety) 2005 it is a legal requirement and should be installed and tested in line with BS 5266:1 2016. In the event of a mains failure the emergency lighting system, including signage, should provide adequate lighting levels and directional indication to allow the occupant to move safely around the building, and exit if necessary, without accident or injury. Emergency Lighting is an essential part of a building safety system and is the responsibility of the building owner, occupier or manager to ensure compliance.
Automatic, self-testing of emergency lighting installations for large buildings and estates such as schools, universities, factories and public buildings is considered essential. The Tamlite e-CONNECT system is a flexible and professional, autonomous emergency testing system that allows scheduled maintenance programmes to be carried out.

As a necessary requirement, building owners must be aware of what they need to do in order to achieve a compliant, safe building.
