Emergency lighting installation in Halifax

Local emergency lighting installation in Halifax

In Halifax, 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.

We often find dark spots in Halifax buildings where partitions have moved since the original emergency lighting was installed.

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

The rated duration is set by the design and risk assessment. Three hours is common in premises that may be reoccupied after an incident.
