Emergency Lighting Design Checklist

by Simon Keeling, from the Community

20+

This emergency lighting design checklist helps assess and document the key elements needed for compliant egress illumination in buildings. Review existing installations, verify availability of fire risk assessments and site plans, and capture details on system type (self-contained or central battery). Confirm coverage at exits, staircases, changes of direction and level, intersections of escape routes, call points, first aid areas, toilets over 8 m2, lift cars, and plant rooms. Record labeling, key-switch test points, and testing behavior, note non-compliances, and attach photos. Use this guide to support design reviews and upgrades in line with fire safety standards.

Reception Daily Health and Safety Checks
This reception checklist guides daily health and safety checks for front-of-house areas. Inspect internal and external walkways for slip, trip, and fall hazards; confirm lighting, heating, and ventilation are adequate; ensure exits and escape routes are clear and fire doors operate correctly. Verify fire extinguishers are in place and ready, and that safety signage for fire exits, call points, and emergency directions is visible and legible. Test radios and emergency phones, check plugs and sockets for damage or overloading, and confirm first aid and biohazard kits are stocked and in date. Review contractor sign-in and permits, ensure turnstiles and access gates function, and confirm CCTV provides full pool coverage without blind spots. Record issues and escalate to the duty manager as needed.
