Keeping people safe
As a busy facility or building management professional, the wellbeing and safety of the occupants is of the utmost importance. Building owners and facility managers must ensure excellent emergency preparedness with fully functioning emergency light installations so that in a crisis, occupants can egress building quickly and safely, as in these cases saving lives may be a matter of seconds.
Setting the standards for safety
There are numerous safety codes and standards concerning emergency lighting design and testing in industrial and commercial facilities. The National Fire Protection Association’s 101®, also known as the Life Safety Code®, and the International Building Code set the criteria for emergency egress design as well as specifying minimum performance and periodic maintenance obligations.
The challenges of emergency lighting testing
The inspection process for emergency lighting fixtures is time and labor-intensive, requiring monthly and annual interventions to test the response of all lights and exit signs. With an already heavy workload, shortage of experienced staff and budget cuts, it’s no wonder that these processes start to strain under pressure, leading to delayed testing, missed maintenance targets and potential non-compliance.
