Emergency lighting is now considered to be an integral part of commercial buildings. Designed to automatically operate in the event of normal lighting failure, emergency lighting allows for
acceptable illumination levels and also allows for a fixed time period for the system to remain
illuminated, to ensure for safe evacuation.
Who will benefit from this course?
This course is primarily aimed at individuals including electricians, who are interested in the processes of designing and installing Emergency Lighting Systems. The course will also look at aspects risk assessment
considerations, for example, to allow for the designation of standard emergency escape routes
and to allow for other evacuation procedures.
Course content:
• Statutory requirements for installing Emergency Lighting Systems to BS 5266
• Site Surveys and fire risk assessing
• Design and planning procedures
• Installation practices
• Pre inspection and use of test equipment
• Maintenance
• Commissioning, certification, inspection and reporting
Assessment:
Although this is a non accredited course, we can provide delegates with an optional short examination. All delegates receive a certificate of attendance with successful delegates passing the optional examination, receiving a Total Electrical certificate with a credit towards their next booked course with Total Electrical Training
Other information:
It is expected that delegates have some understanding of electrical system design and we do strongly recommend that prospective candidates are in possession of a successful 17th edition BS 7671 certificate; this is normally evidenced by way of a City and Guilds 2382 qualification. We also suggest that delegates should have some background knowledge of the principles of electrical testing.
