​Exit and emergency light fixtures are arguably some of the most important features in your business’s safety plan. If a fire, power outage, or other disaster occurs causing blackout conditions, exit signs and emergency lighting help guide employees and customers to safety. During a crisis, it is hard for employees to calmly navigate the stairwells and impossible for visitors unfamiliar with the building. Having efficient and properly working lighting in place helps reduce panic and chaos that quickly occurs.

 

Commercial customers in Maryland are required to have monthly inspections performed in addition to annual tests of all emergency and exit lighting systems. Installing and maintaining a working emergency and exit lighting system is not only an OSHA and life safety code requirement, it is also a responsible business choice.
