Ensure all escape routse are adequately lit and signposted to aid the safe escape of people from your premises.

It is essential that you protect your premises with a reliable and effective emergency lighting system.

At J W Simpkin Fire & Security we specialise in the design, supply, installation, commissioning and ongoing service of a wide range of lighting systems, ensuring that whatever sector you’re in and however high your risk we have a system that will provide you with the most protection.

Ensure your company is complying to the BS 52 66-1 Regulaqtions on Emergency lighting.

“A minimum duration of three hours should be used for emergency lighting if premises are not expected to be evacuated immediately in the event of a supply failure, such as sleeping accommodation or places of entertainment, or if the premises are expected to be reoccupied when the supply is restored without waiting for batteries to recharge.

A minimum duration of one hour should be used only if the premises are expected to be evacuated immediately on supply failure and not reoccupied until full capacity has been restored to the batteries.”

It is imperative that as a UK company you comply with the UK Guidelines set out above. By doing so, it means a building can be re-entered after there has been some kind of mains failure as there is still significant emergency lighting in place to meet the minimum requirements.
