Enforcement of emergency lighting regulations between the period of April 2022 to March 2025 - Find a freedom of information request

Enforcement of emergency lighting regulations across UK organisations for the last 3 years between the period of April 2022 to March 2025?

Specifically, I would like to request the following information:

1. The number of public sector organisations and private businesses found to be in violation of emergency lighting requirements, under the Building Regulations and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

2. Please provide details of the nature of the violations.

3. The number of statutory notices, fines, or prosecutions issued for non-compliance with emergency lighting regulations, with details of:

• Whether the entity was a public sector organisation or private business.

• The industry sector (e.g., healthcare, hospitality, education, retail) of the organisation.

• The monetary value of fine issued for emergency lighting-related breaches for each organisation or business.

1. Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue (LFR) has identified over 1,000 premises that have been deficient with articles 14 and 17 of the fire safety order in the time period asked for. These are just statutory notices and don’t include all premises that were deficient. This also doesn’t include building regulation consultations, where again this would be very time consuming to find. Without opening each deficiency in turn to see if they relate to the emergency lighting, we have no way of knowing. 14 and 17’s scope is far wider than just emergency lighting. .

2. The deficiencies in general would be with testing and maintenance failures.

3. No fines or prosecutions for LFR.
