Kettering fire safety guide
Emergency lighting is there to help people leave safely when normal lighting fails. Testing and clear records help make sure the system works when a power loss or emergency occurs.
Emergency lighting checks that matter
Functional checks
Routine checks confirm fittings illuminate when the normal supply is interrupted.
Duration testing
Full discharge testing is planned so you can verify the system provides light for the expected period.
Escape routes
Check routes, exits, stairs, changes in direction and firefighting equipment are appropriately illuminated.
Test records
Record tests, faults and remedial work in the fire safety log book for future review.
Common issues found on site
Typical problems include failed batteries, damaged fittings, missing signs, changes to a building layout or fittings obscured by alterations. A planned test identifies these early, allowing remedial work to be scheduled before a problem becomes urgent.
Coordinate your life-safety systems
Emergency lighting should work alongside your fire alarm system, fire doors and evacuation procedures. AK Fire Safety provides practical reporting and support across these areas.
