Consult Technicians To Fit Emergency Exit Signs With Lights

By Dominique Martin


Employers and building owners are required to enhance the safety of people occupying buildings whether customers, workers, or other persons. The premises owners should make sure they put in place effective disaster management plans and safety measures to prevent calamities when tragedies strike. Fires can arise in buildings and the workers need to evacuate as fast as possible. Installing emergency exit signs with lights is one way of enhancing the safety of people in a building during the times of disaster.

The more they delay, the higher the risks they are putting themselves into. During these times, there is a lot of confusion and people may not know what to do or where to go. This is when a property owner or employer is able to know whether its signs have been put in the correct place or not.

Although there can be exit signs showing people where to go when disasters occur, they may not be effective when troubles occur. For example, some may only function if they are illuminated on by other light sources. If a building is too dark, those sign tools may not be easily visible.

The workers need to be educated on the way to respond when emergencies strike. They need to know where the firefighting equipments are located and how to use them. In addition, the designated assembly points where workers concrete for headcounts should clearly be marked and known to each employee.

If the backup generators are turned off to prevent more fires from breaking up, during that time, the building is very dark and people many not be able to see the routes exiting the property. If a sign does not have light, then the people cannot see it and they will remain trapped inside.

But this is unlikely to happen in times of tragedies. When the lights go off, and the signs do not have illumination, they are as good as useless. They do not serve any purpose and this could lead to another disaster. Many people are likely to be trapped inside a building. The firefighting team may also find it very rocky to evacuate people from the building.

The firefighting team also needs to find the routes to the buildings so that they can help people get out. In the large and multi-storey properties, there is a general rule that when disasters strike, people should be able to quickly turn their back on the fires and move away speedily to safe places. This is a process, which requires that people are educated on how they should respond to incidents of fires.

Any small mistake made during the installation of these signboards can cause big troubles. This is why it is recommended that they be fitted by qualified technicians. The signboards and their lighting should be inspected and tested regularly to ascertain they are working properly. This ensures that when disasters strike, the response is done pretty fast and effectively without risking the lives of people.
