Emergency Lighting Installations
CSS can light the way to keep your employees safe with supply and installation of emergency lighting for business premises throughout Scotland.
Emergency Lighting systems from CSS
Emergency Lighting systems including emergency lighting supplied and installed by CSS are compliant with British Standards 5266-1 2016 (the code of practice for the emergency lighting of premises).
Our feature rich systems are cost effective, low maintenance, environmentally friendly, and intelligent as they use addressable technology. This allows self-monitoring and self-testing of individual lighting elements within the system which can be viewed using unique graphics software.
If your premises’ fire evacuation equipment, such as emergency lighting, is old and out of date, our state-of-the-art emergency lighting systems could save money as they are highly efficient and relatively inexpensive to run.
Why install emergency lighting?
Property owners should be aware that emergency lighting is a legal requirement in premises within the UK and it must comply with BS 5266-1 2016.
The purpose and benefits of emergency lighting might be obvious but its importance cannot be underestimated. Emergency lighting shows clearly where a building’s escape routes are. It also provides lighting to enable safe and efficient movement of people to exits as well as for first aiders and fire fighters to perform vital life saving tasks, and show the locations of fire extinguishers and call points.
Emergency lighting is a legal requirement
Emergency lighting must be provided in order to comply with UK Fire Safety legislation. Premises this affects include shops, offices, community centres, public halls, schools, hotels, nursing and care homes, hospices, pubs, clubs and restaurants, warehouses, factories, and marquees.
In addition to UK wide legislation, local authorities have additional regulations which must be complied with. For example, these may apply to licensed premises, places of entertainment, public access areas, and hospital or residential care facilities. The lighting is also required to have an adequate backup power source from a generator for providing power in the event of a cut in the mains electricity supply.
The required criteria that must be met will be detailed in the fire risk assessment carried out for your premises.
Types of emergency lighting CSS supply and install include:
- Emergency lights
- Illuminated signs
- Bulkheads and recessed emergency lighting
- Indoor and outdoor ranges
- LED emergency lighting
If you are in any doubt about what type of emergency lighting your premises requires or how your premises can legally comply please contact CSS for advice on emergency lighting. You can also arrange for one of our fire evacuation equipment experts to survey your premises.
