Exit and Emergency Light Testing

---

NWS Services focuses on providing professional Emergency Lighting & Exit Sign Testing tailored to your workplace environment. 

Emergency lighting & Exit Signs play a vital part in workplace safety as they provide safe evacuation paths for workers and visitors in the event of an emergency. Ensure your workplace is in compliance with Occupational Health and Safety obligations and have your Exit and Emergency Lighting tested to the AS/NZS 2293.2 Standard.

1. Ensuring Safe Evacuation During Emergencies
In emergencies such as fires, power outages, or natural disasters, visibility is often compromised, creating confusion and panic. Properly functioning emergency lighting and exit signs guide occupants to safety, reducing the risk of injury or harm.

2. Legal Compliance and Risk Management
The AS/NZS 2293.2 Standard outlines the requirements for the routine inspection, testing, and maintenance of emergency lighting systems. Failure to comply can lead to hefty fines, legal liabilities, or insurance complications in the event of an incident. Regular testing demonstrates your commitment to workplace safety and helps meet your OHS obligations.

3. Avoiding Costly Downtime and Interruptions
Malfunctioning emergency lighting systems can lead to workplace shutdowns, delayed evacuations, or extended downtime during inspections. Proactively maintaining these systems minimizes disruptions to your operations and avoids costly repairs from neglected maintenance.

4. Peace of Mind for Employees and Visitors
A properly maintained emergency lighting system provides reassurance to everyone on-site, knowing that safety measures are in place should an emergency arise.

NWS Services conducts thorough testing and maintenance of emergency lighting systems in compliance with the AS/NZS 2293.2 Standard. Our process includes:

• 90-Minute Battery Testing: Verifying that emergency lights and exit signs remain operational for the required 90-minute duration during a simulated power failure. This is conducted using either manual testing or circuit breaker testing.
• Bulb and Light Inspection: Checking for faulty or non-functional bulbs and ensuring all lights meet brightness requirements.
• Diffuser Inspection: Examining diffusers for damage, discoloration, or dirt that could obstruct light output.
• Battery Inspection: Assessing the condition of batteries to ensure they are fully charged and capable of sustaining emergency lighting in a power outage.
• Cleaning Reflective Surfaces: Cleaning light-reflecting surfaces to maximize illumination and ensure the lights function effectively.
• Comprehensive Reporting: Documenting all tests, maintenance activities, and results in your safety logbook and maintenance register, which is essential for audits and compliance.

1. Retail Environments
In busy retail stores or shopping centers, a power outage during peak hours can lead to panic and confusion. Properly functioning exit signs and emergency lights ensure a smooth evacuation process while minimizing disruptions to operations.

2. Warehouses and Manufacturing Facilities
Warehouses often have complex layouts and minimal natural light, making emergency lighting critical during power failures or emergencies. Without proper maintenance, faulty systems could result in delayed evacuations, lost productivity, and increased risk of accidents.

3. Healthcare Facilities
Hospitals, clinics, and aged care facilities rely heavily on emergency lighting to guide staff and patients during emergencies. In life-or-death situations, malfunctioning emergency lighting can have catastrophic consequences and lead to legal repercussions.

4. Offices and Commercial Buildings
Office buildings with high occupancy must ensure clear evacuation paths. Regular testing ensures compliance and prevents disruptions to business operations during unexpected incidents or audits.

5. Hospitality and Entertainment Venues
Hotels, restaurants, and cinemas must prioritize safety for their patrons. Non-functional emergency lighting during an incident could lead to crowd panic and reputational damage.
