Emergency Light and Exit Sign Testing & Inspection

Emergency lights and exit signs play two main roles during emergencies like power failure and fires that require immediate evacuation. Foremost, they facilitate the accessibility to the exit points of the building, hence, ensuring the safety of the occupants. Secondly, they also offer sufficient lighting for a limited time to enable the occupants of the building to halt any processes that could be dangerous if left running and, also respond to the emergency.

In most occasions, emergency light and exit signs are installed and left unattended until when an emergency occurs. One of the things that many people do not know is that these systems run on batteries with limited lifespan. As a result, they are often subject to failure, especially when you need them the most. Even if the ‘charging’ light on the unit is lit, it does not guarantee the unit will work during a power outage.

Benefits of Emergency Light and Exit Sign Inspection & Testing

According to the International Fire Code, emergency lighting systems should be able to provide illumination for about one to one and a half hours after a power failure. Besides, the light should also be bright enough to allow the people in the building to safely move to the exit points and, shut down hazardous processes and equipment. To meet these conditions, the systems must be inspected and tested regularly by a professional.
