Emergency Lighting Testing for Safe Escape Routes

Emergency lighting helps occupants find safe escape routes if normal lighting fails during a fire, power cut or emergency.

For responsible persons, landlords and managing agents, testing records help show that escape lighting is being checked and maintained.

Wasser Group can test emergency lights, record results, identify failures and provide certification for compliance records.
