Local emergency lighting installation in Rickmansworth

Exit signs in Rickmansworth premises need to be visible from the route, which sometimes means adding directional signs at changes of direction.

In Rickmansworth, 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.
