Emergency Lighting and Safety Signs The work
place directive states the following:
Clause 4.5 Specific emergency routes and exists must be
indicated by signs [ in accordance with the national
regulations].
Clause 4.7 Emergency routes and exits requiring
illumination must be provided with emergency lighting of
adequate intensity in case the lighting fails.
Clause 4.7in essence is telling us that if normal lighting is
installed that the premises are designed to be used during hours
of darkness and therefore emergency lighting is also required.
BS5266 gives recommendations and guidance on the factors that
need to be considered in the design and installation of
electrical emergency-lighting systems. The design, installation
and ongoing maintenance of emergency lighting should be carried
out by a competent engineer. One of the easiest ways to
demonstrate competence is to use ICEL (Industry Committee or
Emergency Lighting) competent engineers.
Skipton Safety Signs
Current fire-safety regulations determine that from any
position within a building people must be easily able to follow
a distinct and clear escape route. The Fire Safety Order also
requires that portable fire-extinguishers be identified with
signs showing the contents and upon which fuels it is suitable
to be used.
Signs need to be large enough to be both clearly seen and
understood. In Britain signs are divided into specific
categories and each one has its own designated set of colours:
Emergency Escape and First Aid are green, Mandatory signs are
blue, Warning signs are yellow but both Prohibition and
Fire-Fighting signs are red.
We can supply and install all signage you require to meet
current fire-safety and Workplace directive legislation.
