Emergency & Exit Lights Course
On successful completion of this course you will have the skills and knowledge to perform the
inspection and maintenance of emergency evacuation lighting in buildings in accordance with
the standard AS/NZS 2293.2
The qualification level required for this is a COMPETENT PERSON.
The course will cover the requirements of the standard as well as instruction on the scope of works.
AS/NZS 2293.2
This standard sets out the requirements for the periodic inspection
and maintenance procedures which should be instituted for emergency evacuation lighting
systems. The objective of these requirements is to ensure that such lighting systems will be in
a state of readiness for operation at all times.
Scope of works.
The technician’s primary role is to check, test and clean exit and emergency lights to ensure
compliance with the standard AS/NZS 2993.
A secondary role is to ensure that placement of all emergency and exit lights remain
compliant with the building code and provides a clearly defined passage way to follow to
egress the building. This must be observable from any part of the workplace. This becomes
particularly important when internal layout configurations change.
The technician is not obliged to carry out any repair or replacement of the lights, however
they may replace batteries, light tubes and starters, so long as they are only exposed to extra
low voltage.
