Escape & Evacuation

Emergency lighting is an essential element of almost every business, commercial and non-domestic premises. Emergency light fittings provide safe illumination in the event of a mains power failure using a back-up battery supply and ensure that escape routes, final exits, changes of floor level and important fire / emergency equipment are sufficiently visible to building occupants. Safe Fire Direct offer a full range of emergency light fittings from standard bulkheads to premium chrome / brass exit boxes. Our range includes units that can be flush mounted for discreet aesthetics and IP65 rated fittings suitable for external applications. All of our emergency light fittings provide a minimum of 3 hours emergency battery output and are suitable for use in installations requiring compliance to BS5266.

We offer a range of standard mains-powered non-emergency light fittings to completement our range of emergency light fixtures. As an integral part of any building our mains powered range of standard light fittings allow uniformity when purchasing and specifying a mixture of emergency and standard lighting for a single property.

Evacuating a property is not always easy and has many different challenges, especially in the event of an emergency, but our range of Evacuation Aids offer a easy method to speed up the evacuation process.

In the event of an emergency such as an earthquake or a fire, lifts should not be used in multi-storey buildings, therefore people with a disability or who are injured may become trapped. Our range of evacuation equipment is the perfect solution; enabling the safe evacuation of building occupants with limited mobility in an emergency situation.

Fire escape ladders are portable ladders that are designed to provide an emergency exit from a building in case of a fire. They can be used in homes, apartments, and other buildings where there is a risk of fire and limited access to an external escape route.

They can be easily stored in a cupboard or under a bed and can be quickly deployed in case of an emergency. They are often made of lightweight, durable materials that can support the weight of an adult. Some models are designed to be attached to a window sill, while others are freestanding. They are also equipped with slip-resistant rungs and hooks that provide a secure grip and prevent the ladder from sliding away from the building. It's important to test and maintain them regularly to ensure their proper function in case of emergency.

We offer a range of products which provide a manual means to raise an emergency signal for fire or evacuation such as rotary hand bells and emergency gas horns.
