Your Legal Obligations Explained
Properties in Hammersmith are required to comply with The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 alongside BS 5266-1 standards. These rules mandate effective emergency lighting to clearly mark escape routes during power outages. Proper installation and ongoing maintenance are essential legal duties.
Routine Emergency Lighting Tests: Monthly & Annual
Landlords and business operators in Hammersmith must perform regular emergency lighting tests—this includes short monthly operational checks and a full annual discharge test. Failure to comply can result in legal penalties and increased risk in emergencies.
