Emergency Lighting Safety Checklist Template
A checklist for reviewing the emergency lighting installed in your premises. It confirms whether the lighting is documented on a plan, whether it is installed at all the essential locations, and whether the plan correctly shows the type of light at each point, with space to record what is satisfactory and what needs action.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires emergency routes and exits to be lit where necessary, and BS 5266 sets out how emergency lighting should be provided and maintained. This checklist gives you a structured review and supports the emergency preparedness requirements of ISO 45001.
Built for the Fire Safety Order, BS 5266 and ISO 45001
The checklist supports the emergency preparedness requirements of ISO 45001 (clause 8.2):
- Confirms emergency lighting locations are documented on a plan
- Checks lighting is in place at all essential locations - exits, staircases, changes of level or direction, emergency equipment, the fire alarm panel and refuge points
- Confirms the plan shows the correct type - maintained or non-maintained - at each location
- Records what is satisfactory and what action is required
What's Included in this Emergency Lighting Checklist
The form is a focused review with clear action prompts:
- Header - completed by and date
- Emergency lighting review - each check with a Yes / No / NA marker and a satisfactory / action-required column, covering documentation, coverage of essential locations and correct light type

Who Needs an Emergency Lighting Checklist?
