Will your emergency lights and other safety lighting work when you need them? It is absolutely critical that the emergency equipment and systems you have set in place work when you need them the most, in an emergency. However, even though emergency lights were installed when you constructed or purchased the building that houses your organization, they need to be inspected on an annual basis to ensure proper functioning. Emergency lighting equipment provides light in corridors, stairwells, ramps, escalators, aisles and exit passageways during an emergency situation or power outage.
