Rules & Regulations
Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order (RRFSO) 2005 regulation requires that the ‘responsible person in charge of non-domestic premises, including the common areas of a house in multiple occupancy, is also responsible for the safety of everyone in the building, whether they are guests, workers, visitors or residents.
Emergency routes and exits requiring illumination must be provided with emergency lighting of adequate intensity in the case of failure of their normal lighting’.
If lighting is required so that people can go about their normal business, then emergency provision is needed in the event of a power outage. The Industry committee for Emergency Lighting (ICEL) puts it like this: ‘The legal requirement is that non-domestic buildings must be safe at all times, even if mains power failure occurs. Therefore, nearly all such buildings must have emergency lighting fitted’.
