For larger Prestwich sites, an addressable system lets you see every emergency fitting's status from one panel.

In Prestwich, as elsewhere, the person responsible for fire safety must make sure escape routes are lit if the power fails. A clear design and certificate is the simplest evidence for your fire risk assessment.
