Emergency lighting installation in Redcar

In short: escape route lighting and exit signs designed to BS 5266-1. Exit signs in Redcar premises need to be visible from the route, which sometimes means adding directional signs at changes of direction.

Local emergency lighting installation in Redcar

Most Redcar premises we survey have emergency lighting that has grown piecemeal. We map every escape route and open area against BS 5266-1 before suggesting new fittings.

In Redcar, 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.

For Redcar premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
