Managing emergency lighting compliance across a large college estate is no easy task, especially when buildings are spread across both a main campus and multiple remote locations.
At Murray Edwards College, manual emergency lighting testing had become increasingly time consuming and difficult to manage. Facilities teams faced several challenges, including time sensitive manual testing, difficulty monitoring multiple buildings, inconsistent paper-based test records, delayed fault identification, increased risk of human error.
To modernise the college’s compliance strategy, Emergi-safe Ltd implemented the Phoenix Monitored Self Testing Emergency Lighting System across the estate. The intelligent monitored system automates emergency lighting testing, continuously monitors fitting performance, and provides real-time fault reporting through a centralised platform. This allows facilities teams to instantly identify issues, reduce manual testing time, and maintain accurate digital compliance records across multiple buildings.
The project was delivered in carefully planned phases, beginning with remote off-campus buildings before gradually expanding into additional campus facilities and main college buildings.
By introducing monitored self-testing technology, the college has significantly improved: Compliance visibility, Fault response times, Record accuracy, Operational efficiency, long term maintenance management.
The result is a smarter, more reliable approach to emergency lighting compliance that supports both safety and operational efficiency across a complex educational estate.
At Emergi-safe Ltd, we specialise in delivering intelligent life safety solutions tailored to the operational needs of complex environments, helping clients reduce compliance burdens while improving system reliability and visibility.
