Emergency lighting testing FAQs for West Yorkshire

Which towns in West Yorkshire do you cover?

All of West Yorkshire, including Leeds, Bradford and Huddersfield. See the towns list on this page for local pages.

Which fire safety law applies in West Yorkshire?

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 sets the duties of the person responsible for fire safety, including emergency lighting where escape routes need it.

Why is the annual test done out of hours?

After a full-duration test the batteries need time to recharge, so the building is less protected for a while. Testing at the end of the day avoids that risk while people are inside.

Can we do the monthly tests ourselves?

Yes. A trained, competent person can do the monthly flick test and record it. Many businesses do this in-house and bring us in for the annual test and repairs.
