Emergency Lighting
Fire, Health & Safety Services
Impact Safety Limited install and maintain a wide range of emergency lighting systems. From simple self contained units to complex central battery units. We provide a comprehensive and thorough service of your emergency lighting, issuing full written records of all tests and work carried out on your premises.
How can we help?
Whether you already have a testing and maintenance programme in place or are starting from scratch, we are able to help you fulfil your safety obligations by providing a reliable and cost effective inspection and testing service.
Routine Testing should be carried out:
- Daily - visual check to ensure that emergency lighting systems are operating correctly and that indicators are working. This will be carried out by the 'responsible person' delegated to the task by the organisation/business. Any faults should be logged and corrected asap.
- Monthly - Check all luminaires for signs of damage or disrepair. Briefly test all emergency lights to ensure that they operate in the event of mains electricity supply failure. This will usually be carried out by the 'responsible person'. Any faults should be logged and corrected asap.
- Annually - A full system inspection and duration test of the emergency lights should be performed by a 'competent person' , this being a person with the necessary skills, training and knowledge to perform emergency lighting maintenance and servicing. Compliance with BS5266 should be considered and produced in the emergency lighting certification report. Any faults should be rectified. Essential Electrical engineers are qualified and experienced in the routine inspection and testing of emergency lighting systems.
What do we do?
For the majority of clients, we provide annual inspection, testing and certification of emergency lighting. We use fully qualified electricians, experienced in the testing of emergency lighting. We can also supply standard or bespoke log books, so that following the full annual test, a designated member of your staff can quickly and easily perform monthly checks using an easy to follow (tick box style) log book.
