Emergency Lighting & Testing

What Are Emergency Lighting Systems?

Emergency lighting systems include backup lights and illuminated exit signs that activate automatically during power failures or emergencies. These systems are critical for:

• Guiding occupants to safety in low-visibility situations.
• Ensuring compliance with Alberta and Saskatchewan safety regulations.
• Minimizing liability in the event of an emergency.

Proper maintenance of these systems is a legal requirement for most facilities, but more importantly, it’s a moral obligation for anyone responsible for the safety of employees and visitors.

Why Regular Emergency Lighting Testing Is Essential

Routine testing ensures your emergency lighting system operates as intended during critical moments. Neglecting these systems can lead to:

• Unexpected failures during emergencies.
• Fines for non-compliance with local and national safety codes.
• Increased liability for accidents or injuries.

Our testing process includes:

• Functional Tests: Verifying that all lights and exit signs activate and function correctly.
• Battery Checks: Ensuring backup batteries are charged and holding power.
• System Diagnostics: Identifying wiring issues, faulty fixtures, or outdated components.
• Reporting: Providing a detailed compliance report for your records.

When Repairs Are Needed

Emergency lighting systems can degrade over time due to battery wear, bulb failure, or electrical malfunctions. If repairs are required, we offer:

• Battery replacements for backup power units.
• LED upgrades for longer-lasting, energy-efficient performance.
• Fixture and wiring repairs to restore full functionality.

Our team prioritizes quick turnaround times to ensure your system is back up and running without delay.
