Emergency lighting testing in Middlesbrough
In short: monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. Where Middlesbrough buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.
Local emergency lighting testing in Middlesbrough
Annual emergency lighting tests in Middlesbrough are best booked for late afternoon or evening, so batteries can recharge overnight before people are back in.
Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Middlesbrough buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
Our teams travel to Middlesbrough from across North Yorkshire. Typical nearby jobs include Billingham, Stockton-on-Tees and Stainton, so we can often combine survey visits.
