Escape lighting around storage and loading areas

For a warehouse, workshop or business unit in Avonmouth or Shirehampton, emergency lighting needs to be considered alongside the actual storage and movement of people. Kebbi Electrical Services undertakes installation, testing and repairs for BS11 premises.

Tell us about racking, mezzanines, loading doors and the pedestrian exits used by staff. A large floor area alone does not establish the required fitting positions.

Review pedestrian routes through the unit

High racks and stacked materials can change visibility at floor level. Provide the current aisle layout and any planned expansion. Routes from offices or mezzanine workspaces also need following through to the designated exits, rather than stopping the review at the main warehouse floor.

Allow for height and working conditions

Access equipment, vehicle movements and operating hours can affect how work is carried out. The proposed fittings also need to suit the environment at their location. Flag dust, dampness or exposure around external doors so these conditions can be assessed.

Coordinate testing with site operations

We discuss the isolation and test arrangements with the site contact. Agree any exclusion zones and identify equipment that must remain operational. Results should distinguish faults in individual lights from issues affecting a whole group or supply.

Will general warehouse floodlights provide backup?

Only equipment with an appropriate emergency function can be relied on for that purpose. The normal lighting output does not tell you how the space will be illuminated after a supply failure.
