Failure to comply has serious consequences
Recent surveys from sources such as the Lux Review reveal that:
• More than 50% of emergency lighting schemes won’t work in an incident.
• 70% of building managers see maintenance as a ‘tick box’ exercise.
• 56% of businesses fail to keep their safety systems up to date after an internal refurbishment e.g. emergency lighting is not altered to suit a change in building layout.
• Electricians reported 64% of visited sites’ emergency lighting logbooks are not up to date.
• 55% of survey respondents reported that customers are more concerned with initial expenditure than ongoing
maintenance costs and that once the emergency lighting system is fitted, it is forgotten about.
The consequences of not complying with the law range from fines of £100,000s
to businesses being forcibly closed and prison sentences.
