Emergency lighting for Harrogate buildings
Harrogate is a spa and conference town with many hotels, guest houses and event venues, where fire safety for sleeping guests and large visitor numbers comes first.
For hotels and venues we light escape routes, function rooms and stairs used by guests who do not know the building. For offices we light escape routes, stairs and exits so people can leave safely in a power cut. For shared areas in flats and HMOs we light corridors and stairs as required by the fire risk assessment.
