The Importance of Emergency Lighting For Your Premises

  • Safe Evacuation
    Our emergency lighting systems highlight escape routes to guide occupants safely out of a building during power outages or emergencies.
  • Full Regulatory Compliance
    Our emergency lighting systems meet the standards of BS 5266, to demonstrate that your premises are fully compliant with fire safety legislation.
  • Reduced Liability
    Carrying out regular maintenance and ensuring you have certification/documentation will protect your business from legal penalties and insurance problems.
  • Peace of Mind
    Knowing that your emergency lighting is correctly installed, professionally tested and regularly maintained gives you confidence that your premises are always prepared.

How do I maintain my emergency lighting system?

Maintaining your emergency lighting is vital to ensure performance when a real emergency occurs. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a Responsible Person (RP)to ensure systems are regularly tested and recorded. Emergency lighting maintenance includes:

  • Monthly functional tests to check that each light operates correctly.
  • Six-monthly or annual duration tests to fully discharge and monitor each unit.
  • Visual inspections to check for damage, cleanliness and visibility.
  • Ensure a detailed record of all checks and results is kept.

At Foster Fire Ltd, we offer flexible maintenance contracts to handle all of this on your behalf. We carry out all statutory tests and keep your documentation fully up to date, leaving you with complete compliance and no stress. Contact us today for more information.
