Why Emergency Lighting Matters
Emergency lighting protects occupants during power failures by illuminating escape routes and exits. It reduces panic, supports safe evacuation and helps businesses comply with UK fire safety legislation.
⚖️
Legal Responsibilities
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 places responsibility on business owners, landlords and duty holders to ensure emergency lighting is properly maintained and tested.
Regular inspections help demonstrate compliance and provide reassurance that your emergency lighting will operate correctly when needed.
📅
How Often Should PAT Testing Be Carried Out?
Monthly:
