Emergency lighting for Glasgow buildings
Glasgow's tenement flats share closes and stairs, so communal fire safety and the Scottish interlinked alarm standard matter for landlords and factors alike. The city also has a significant number of high-rise council and housing association blocks.
When the mains supply fails, emergency lighting has to light escape routes, exits, changes of direction and firefighting equipment for long enough for everyone to leave. For most buildings that means three hours.
We design layouts from a survey, install maintained or non-maintained fittings, and carry out the monthly functional tests and annual full-duration tests that BS 5266-1 expects. For larger sites, self-test and addressable emergency lighting systems cut testing time and give you an automatic record.
The rules that apply in Glasgow
In Scotland, fire safety in non-domestic premises is governed by the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, and enforced by the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service. Scotland has its own building standards system and its own approach to cladding risk.
