Emergency Lighting

Fire Risk Assessments That Put Your Safety First

A fire risk assessment isn’t just a legal requirement — it’s the foundation of keeping your people, property, and business safe. At 24/7 Fire and Security Protection Ltd, we make the process straightforward, compliant, and completely focused on your needs.

Whether you manage a school, care home, office, factory, or commercial site, we take the time to understand your building, your operations, and your responsibilities. Our goal is simple — to help you meet all legal obligations while giving you practical, actionable steps to keep everyone safe.

Why Emergency Lighting is Essential

Legal Compliance – Required under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 for most non-domestic premises.

Life Safety – Guides occupants to exits and illuminates escape routes during power loss.

Insurance & Audit Requirements – Demonstrates that your building meets recognised safety standards.

Peace of Mind – Knowing your emergency lighting will work exactly as intended in an emergency.

Our Emergency Lighting Design Process

Site Survey & Risk Assessment

We assess your building layout, occupancy, and escape routes.

Lighting Plan

Positioning luminaires to ensure full coverage of exits, corridors, stairways, plant rooms, and high-risk areas.

System Type Selection

Choosing between maintained (always on) and non-maintained (only active in power loss) luminaires based on your needs.

Integration

Ensuring your emergency lighting works seamlessly alongside your fire alarm and safety systems.

Compliance Sign-Off

All systems are designed to BS 5266-1 standards for safety and audit purposes.

Maintenance & Testing

Under BS 5266-8 and fire safety law, emergency lighting must be tested regularly:

  • Monthly Function Test – Briefly simulates a power failure to check lights operate.
  • Annual Duration Test – Simulates a full power failure to ensure lights operate for the required time (usually 3 hours).

Our planned maintenance contracts cover:

  • Function and duration testing
  • Battery health checks and replacements
  • Cleaning and inspection of fittings
  • Full compliance documentation for your records and fire risk assessment
