In the interest of public safety, the standard AS/NZS2293 outlines the obligations of building owners and tenants in relation to testing and monitoring of Exit signs and Emergency Lighting to ensure the safe evacuation of occupants in an emergency.
Exit and emergency evacuation lighting systems are designed and installed as an essential safety measure to reduce panic during an emergency evacuation by clearly identifying escape route and providing visibility during power failure. If exit lights or emergency luminaries fail to operate when called upon, occupants can become disorientated, placing lives at risk. Our routine service and maintenance program ensures that your evacuation lighting system will operate in accordance with the standard AS/NZS2293.
Emergency evacuation lighting systems shall be inspected and maintained in accordance with the relevant procedures specified in this Standard. The inspection and maintenance procedures shall be carried out only by persons having qualifications and experience suitable for the work on which they are engaged.
At SafePower Safety Systems our technicians are highly trained in exit light and emergency light testing.
