Emergency Light Testing

UK businesses are under a legislative duty to maintain effective emergency lights. This requires a detailed understanding of current standards and processes for fire safety and electrical engineering to ensure compliance and safety.

Maintaining emergency light units involves two separate testing requirements to ensure effective operation and continued compliance with current standards across all parts of the unit, including the lighting tubes and back-up batteries.

Flick tests should be carried out monthly, when the emergency lights are illuminated for a short period to confirm working order of the luminaires. An annual test should also be carried out, which involves illuminating the emergency lights for 1 or 3 hours in order to check the luminaires remain effective.

In addition, ongoing maintenance and checks should be carried out to ensure that all parts of the emergency lighting unit – switches, batteries, luminaires and control equipment – remain effective and efficient.

As specialist electrical compliance contractors, AMS Solutions operates across the North West providing a complete emergency fixed wire testing Manchester and lighting testing solution. We will perform an annual full-duration assessment of your installed emergency lighting, a requirement to be undertaken in addition to monthly ‘flick tests’. We will then submit a detailed report which identifies each light, any faults found and a fixed price to repair.

Fire Risk Assessments

Since the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 came into force, there has been a legal obligation on almost all employers to demonstrate their organisation’s fire safety, and businesses should be able to show they are taking a responsible approach to the fire safety of their staff, customers, visitors and property.

Our trained and professional fire risk assessors can help you to inspect your site and create a detailed fire risk assessment report, which will identify the necessary steps to improve your fire safety.

Your comprehensive fire risk assessment will cover:

Risk to life from fire
Risk to property from fire
Means of escape
Smoke detectors and fire alarm systems
Firefighting equipment
Emergency lighting
Fire safety signs
Fire drills
Staff fire safety training
Fire safety management

Upon completion of the Fire Risk Assessment, you will be provided with a comprehensive report which details findings and, most importantly, recommendations to bring your site up to the required fire safety standard.
