WHY DO I NEED EMERGENCY LIGHTING?
A well designed emergency lighting system is essential.
Every Emergency Lighting system should be designed, installed and maintained in accordance with BS5266.
Emergency lighting is required to help people escape safely and quickly from a building.
Using signs to show the escape routes is an essential part of emergency lighting, because those signs must be visible during a mains failure. In addition to providing for escape, emergency lighting should illuminate any fire equipment, such as fire extinguishers and manual call points, either on the escape route or elsewhere, and permit safety operations such as first aid and fire fighting.
The Key functions of an emergency lighting systems are
- To highlight and illuminate clearly defined escape routes from a building
- To highlight key points of emphasis should there be a power failure, including, fire extinguishers, first aid kits and manual call points.
- To reduce the chance of injury due to tripping over unseen trip hazards or steps
- To reduce panic during evacuations.
These are the most common aspects in all emergency lighting systems, however as with all safety systems there are also additional factors to consider, particularly in more complex or challenging environments, where additional requirements need to be considered, such as high risk task lighting or standby lighting.
