Emergency Lights And Exit Signs
Emergency lighting is not something you want to be in the dark about.
A power failure and subsequent loss of light at your place of business can be hazardous for your employees and your customers. Even momentary panic or confusion can result in personal injury or property damage.
Proper emergency lighting and signage are essential to keeping order and enabling safe and timely evacuation of your premises.
Keeping lighting and exit signs in proper working condition is an ongoing responsibility — and an OSHA and LIFE SAFETY Code requirement.
BOMA Emergency Lighting Services guarantee:
•
Your lights will work in an emergency
•
Improved security for your property and personnel
•
Safer, easily identifiable evacuation routes
•
Minimal downtime/loss of productivity
•
Comprehensive inspections and testing
Make sure your emergency lighting and signage are in working order before they're needed.
BOMA will support you with regular inspections, testing and maintenance so that you can be confident that if the lights go out, your lighting and signs will lead your employees and customers safely out of your building.
