Emergency lighting is a legal requirement in businesses, hospitals, schools, offices, pubs, factories, shops, and many more, so that in the event of an emergency there is sufficient light for people to escape from the building. This is a requirement under BS5266 2016.
Emergency lighting also enables people to see and identify appropriate firefighting equipment. The law even applies to public areas such as tents and marquees. In addition, BS5266 2016 applies to residential premises such as HMOs (Houses of Multiple Occupation) and blocks of flats.
It is vital to install and operate emergency lighting that is suitable for every individual situation. This can vary enormously from one building to another, not only as regards the layout but also the use of the building. This is why you need a qualified expert to assess your home or business so that your emergency lighting system complies with all legal requirements. Fines for non-compliance can be huge: in 2018 a private landlord was fined £400,000!
