Emergency lighting installation work in Lincolnshire

In Lincolnshire, 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.

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

What's included

Design and risk-based layout for escape routes, open areas and high-risk tasks
Maintained or non-maintained LED emergency luminaires
Illuminated exit and directional signs
Commissioning and a full-duration test on completion
