Locating Your Emergency Lights
Well lit escape routes allow users to navigate their way out of buildings
safely in an emergency.
Stairways on escape routes can be hazardous to users making it essential
that they are well lit in an emergency.
Uneven flooring on escape routes needs to be illuminated so that in an emergency
users can act accordingly.
It is vital that fire points and first aid points are made clear to users in
emergency
situations.
Making exit doors on escape routes illuminated to users is critical in emergency
situations.
Escalators can cause serious confusion and present a major hazard for users in
an emergency.
Emergency lighting in lifts is essential, helping to reduce panic for users and
also illuminate important information.
Due to the nature of an emergency, all areas of a building need to be covered
with emergency lighting.
Areas with heavy machinery and physical risk need to be kept well lit to allow
to shut down the machines and to avoid injury
Where escape routes may not be very obvious due to large open spaces, the whole
area needs illuminating.
