Local emergency lighting testing in March
Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in March buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
We leave March clients with a completed log book and certificate that can sit straight alongside their fire risk assessment.
For March premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
