If the power goes out at home at short notice and you are ‘left in the dark’, this is annoying, but not yet a significant safety risk …<\/p>\n\n
What is thefunction of emergency lighting?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n
The situation is different in places where large numbers of people gather.\nFor example, a lighting failure in a movie theater, train station, industrial facility, etc.\ncan lead to unrest and even mass panic.\nEspecially if people are not aware of the local conditions (escape routes). <\/p>\n\n
The situation becomes precarious as soon as an emergency situation (fire, smoke, etc.) arises.\nIn such cases, intact emergency and escape route lighting can avert a catastrophe and literally save lives. <\/p>\n\n
For this reason, the installation and operation of these systems are also regulated in various laws (Workplace Ordinance, \u00d6NORM, various provincial laws, TRVB, etc.).<\/p>\n\n
How should emergency lighting be maintained?<\/h2>\n\n
The Workplace Ordinance stipulates that safety lighting must be checked monthly.\nFurthermore, laws and standards stipulate that regular checks must be carried out when emergency and escape route lighting is put into operation.\nThis must be recorded accordingly. <\/p>\n\n
What are the inspection intervals for emergency lighting?<\/h2>\n\n<\/figure>\n\n
During maintenance, these must be recorded and documented accordingly.\nThe documentation should be stored accordingly. <\/p>\n\n
Help for regular inspection of safety lighting?<\/h2>\n\n
The app from MyBuiding24<\/u><\/strong> app helps to remind you of the regular, statutory and standard maintenance intervals in good time.\nThe app can also be used to document all maintenance and inspections.\nAs the owner or operator of a system, the documentation is relevant as, in the event of damage, it can be proven to the authorities that all prescribed inspections have been carried out. <\/p>\n\n
