Exit Sign Requirements

Are you a building manager or owner?

Is your building under construction or about to undergo an inspection? Did you know that you’re required by law to have and test regularly exit and emergency lighting systems?

Having these lighting systems in place keeps your employees safe in case of an emergency and will help you avoid serious liabilities and fines.

Emergency lighting is required to illuminate areas of your building when things go wrong, for example:

  • When the normal electrical supply is interrupted by a utility outage
  • If there is a fire or failure within the building
  • To light pathways and exits that lead out of the building in case of an evacuation

The performance of emergency and exit lights are directly related to safety, so code officials tend to be strict about compliance in design and installation.

Making sure you have a clear understanding of the code requirements for emergency lighting could go a long way toward avoiding any potential expensive surprises late in construction, or during an inspection.
