The Ontario Building Code requires emergency lighting in all commercial buildings to illuminate exit paths for a minimum of 30 minutes during a power failure. Exit signs must be visible from anywhere in the space. We install battery-backed emergency lights and exit signs, and provide the required monthly (30-second) and annual (30-minute) testing with documentation for fire inspectors.
Emergency Exit & Egress Lighting FAQs
What are the emergency lighting requirements in Ontario?
The Ontario Building Code requires emergency lighting that keeps exit paths illuminated for at least 30 minutes during a power failure, plus exit signs visible from anywhere in the space. The Fire Code adds monthly function tests and an annual 30-minute discharge test with documentation.
How much do exit signs and emergency lights cost installed?
Combination LED exit/emergency units typically run $250–$450 each installed, with standalone battery packs and remote heads similar. A small commercial unit usually needs 4–10 devices. We lay out coverage to code so you pass fire inspection the first time.
Who can test emergency lighting in a commercial building?
Monthly checks can be done by building staff, but the annual test and any repairs should be done by qualified electricians, with records kept for the fire inspector. We run scheduled test-and-tag programs across the GTA that keep your logbook current.
