Emergency Lighting Testing
Without regular testing, electrical maintenance and inspection of your emergency lighting you will not be able to guarantee operation of the lighting units in the event of fire or some other emergency. Obviously the ramifications of the lights failing could be very serious with the possibility of staff being trapped in the building.
Because emergency lights are designed to illuminate exit routes in cases of fire, emergency lighting testing is obviously highly important for all businesses. We offer a full electrical maintenance and inspection service to ensure that the emergency lighting in your workplace operates safely and efficiently.
Emergency lighting units automatically operate for between one and three hours on a battery back-up system. These systems, as with all batteries, must be regularly checked and tested to ensure that, in the unhappy event of an emergency, the lighting will work for the correct duration of time.
After the emergency lighting testing is completed then you will receive full and proper documentation and certification to meet with all your current health and safety requirements regarding emergency lighting.
