that is fit for purpose for its Patients
/ Service Users and meets the needs
of our Staff to deliver such a service.
The Clients Perspective
Fire Safety Register
National Maintenance
Contracts
– Fire Detection / Emergency
Lighting Systems
Fire Safety Risk
Assessments
Third Party Audit Passive /
Active Systems
Educational Program
– Estates / Maintenance Staff
Set Fire Safety Training
Syllabus.
Standard Specifications
– Fire Alarm Systems
– Emergency Lighting
National Frameworks
– Large FDAS / EML
Code of Practice
Development
Fire Safety Risk Assessors
Presentation Objectives
Where are we Going Wrong
Why are we making the Same Mistakes
What should we have Been Achieving
What will we Achieve into the Future
Are we Embracing New Technology
Current Project Emergency Lighting
The Way Forward
Patient arrives in hospital, then requests the use of a
commode, she lights a cigarette when on oxygen.
Where are we Going Wrong
Practical Completion delayed on key projects
ranging from 6 weeks to 9 months.
Passive Systems
– Damper details, sleeves and collars, letter box details, fire
door tolerances, test certificates, lack of coordination of
services,
Active Systems
– Fire Alarm Design, Installation & Commissioning
– Emergency Lighting Design, selection, Installation &
Commissioning.

WHY??????
Problems Identified
Non Compliance with Fire Services Act
20 – 50% Coverage in Areas.
Non compliance with relevant standards
IS3217
Systems are aged and at end of life
Converted fittings
Various types of systems in the one location
Common Faults on Emergency Lighting Systems:
Central Test Units (CTU) not installed
One lighting circuit used for complete
Emergency Lighting installation.
Local Circuit Monitoring not carried out.
Constant failure of converted fittings
EMERGENCY ESCAPE LIGHTING
Escape Route Lighting
Escape route signage
Open Area Lighting (anti panic)
High Risk Task Lighting – Kitchens, plant rooms
High Risk Clinical Area Lighting – Theatres, high dependency areas
– Covered more by HTM’s / CIBSE
Defined Escape Routes
I LUX Generally
5 LUX
– Refuge areas
– MCP, Fire Points, Fire Alarm Panels, Reception
Areas, Nurses Stations, Panic Bars/Security on
Escape Doors and Areas outside escape doors.
When all is considered on escape routes we
achieve 5 LUX by default
Anti Panic & High Task
Open Areas
– .5 LUX
High risk Task Lighting
– 10% of the required maintained luminance but not
less than 15 LUX.
– Kitchens, some Treatment areas
– Achieved by additional luminaries

Business Case
We evaluated a Residential Health Care
Premises.
With a Conventional Emergency Lighting
System with
50 Maintained fittings and 200 Non
Maintained fittings.
We looked at a Ten Year spend
