Protect safe evacuation and compliance
Emergency lighting provides critical visibility when seconds count. Mitie Fire & Security delivers lighting systems and services that perform reliably and meet regulatory requirements.
Emergency exit signs and lighting for every building
Emergency exit signs and illumination are essential in all commercial, educational, healthcare and industrial buildings. Legible, properly positioned exit signage helps guide occupants to safety during evacuations and emergency situations.
We ensure your emergency exit signs and emergency lighting layout meet all regulatory and safety requirements, including correct placement and visibility.
Emergency lights with battery backup
Emergency lights must stay powered even when the mains supply fails. That’s why emergency lights with battery backup are a core component of any compliant system.
Mitie installs and maintains lighting units that self-test and switch to battery power automatically, providing reliable visibility when it matters most.
Outdoor emergency light solutions
Outdoor emergency light solutions provide external illumination for building perimeters, access routes and external stairs. These units help occupants and visitors move safely away from danger when exiting a building.
Our outdoor emergency light installations are robust, compliant and tailored to your site layout.
