Emergency Lighting Compliance: Are You Meeting UK Fire Safety Standards?
Emergency Lighting Installation, Testing & Maintenance
Emergency lighting is a vital component of any commercial building’s safety system. It ensures that, in the event of a power failure or fire, occupants can safely evacuate the premises. At Capital Response Ltd, we provide comprehensive emergency lighting solutions for businesses across London and the South East, covering installation, testing, and maintenance to keep your premises safe and fully compliant.
Why Emergency Lighting Matters
Emergency lighting isn’t just a regulatory requirement — it’s a life-saving measure. It ensures that:
Escape routes are clearly illuminated during an emergency
Occupants can safely exit even in total darkness or smoke conditions
Your business meets the standards set by BS 5266 and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
Failing to provide adequate emergency lighting can result in enforcement action, fines, or serious safety risks to staff, visitors, and customers.
