The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 has places the duty up on the employer to ensure that their employees, and any other visitors to their site, may work or go about their duty in a safe working environment.
In practice this means that the Emergency Lighting and Signage should not endanger the health and safety of people at work.
The experts here at PASS realise that in order to assure a safe working environment your Emergency Lighting should be regularly maintained and tested, ensuring that adequate light would be available for employees to evacuate the building without endangering themselves or others, and fulfilling your duty of care.
Frequency of Tests
The Health and Safety Executive suggest that every six months there should be a full test on all emergency lights and signs, as this can cause many difficulties in practice. PASS agents arrange to carry out testing outside normal working hours.
This is generally performed either before or after delivering portable appliance testing and / or fire extinguisher maintenance services.
This significantly reduces the expense involved for the three combined services and lowers our clients carbon footprint.
