Emergency lighting plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety of occupants during power outages or emergencies. In the United Kingdom, strict regulations govern the installation, maintenance, and testing of emergency lighting systems. These requirements help reduce risks, support safe evacuation, and provide essential illumination for emergency response teams.

We are pleased to announce that Alpha Fire Alarms has joined Complii’s fire division. This marks another step forward in our mission to provide clients with the most comprehensive and trusted compliance services across the built environment.

Complii has expanded its Fire Division with the acquisition of Fire Safe Services Ltd, a Midlands-based provider of fire detection, alarm, and protection systems.

In recent history, faulty electrical appliances and accidental circumstances caused numerous electrical fires, damaging electrical systems, and setting off smoke alarms. Electrical fires are often caused by malfunctioning electrical equipment or by using power strips and extension cords.

Passive fire protection is a critical part of building safety. By limiting the spread of fire and smoke, it helps protect lives and property, while creating safe escape routes. Key measures include fire doors, fire curtains, and compartmentation, which work together to contain fire and maintain building integrity.

For UK business premises, maintaining good electrical safety is a legal requirement.  To meet the requirements under the Health and Safety at Work Act, remedial work must be carried out on any workplace electrical installation that presents a safety risk to employees or customers.

The Building Safety Act 2022 introduces significant changes to how fire safety and building compliance are managed across planning, design, construction, and occupation. The legislation applies to developers, landlords, and property owners, placing greater responsibility on accountable persons to protect people and property.

Electrical safety has always been a critical part of keeping people and property safe, but recent changes in legislation mean landlords have even greater responsibilities. If you own or manage a property in the private rented sector, it’s vital to understand what has changed and what you need to do to remain compliant.

A reliable and effective fire alarm system is essential for all business premises. As stated by The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, each premise has a responsibility to ensure all fire alarm systems are designed, installed, and verified with the relevant certification.  Fire safety is of high importance across every household and workplace, and for businesses in particular, prioritising fire safety doesn’t just save lives, it’s also integral to remaining compliant with the latest safety regulations.
