Owners in London were fined for lack of emergency lighting

Golders Green Road's Mark Goldsmith和Sandringham Road's Lian Hatuka,were lodged a complaint by Barnet Council.The reason is that they violated the conditions for a multi-purpose residence (HMO) permit.

It is said that the house has no emergency lighting and no fire alarm, but it has six tenants.

Although the two men pleaded not guilty in Willesden Court to charges of failing to comply with their licences, the magistrate found them guilty and ordered them to pay 15,420, respectively.

In Britain, many people or companies have been punished for not having emergency lighting.

British courts have imposed a series of fines on landlords, and the courts are becoming more and more strict in fire safety.

After the Grenfelda fire in London on June 14, 2017, 72 residents were killed, causing concern about the quality of fire safety. Fines seem to have become a "tough" measure.

In fact, fires and other accidents continue to occur in most parts of the world, including China. The number of casualties and property losses remain high.

Emergency lighting, including evacuation lighting, safety lighting and backup lighting, has become one of the important facilities for building safety. Practice has proved that the causes of serious casualties caused by blackouts or fires in buildings and disasters such as terrorist attacks and earthquakes are different, but they are often related to whether emergency lighting system is reasonable or not. Obviously, a good emergency lighting system is reasonable. Ground setting is helpful for evacuation and evacuation of personnel.
