Conference Workshop 2b

2B Changes to the standards governing fire detection and emergency lighting

For landlords, when it comes to fire safety, UK legislation imposes a duty on those with control of premises to ensure the safety of the occupants. One measure includes the provision of emergency lighting. Recent changes not only give recommendations to assist occupants in leaving a building during an emergency but also helps protect them if they ‘stay put’ during an emergency.

Steve Martin will highlight the changes to the emergency lighting standards; the proposed technical changes to the fire alarm standards and practical advice on electrical safety to help limit the cause of fire.
