Case Study: Halton Housing achieves automated emergency lighting compliance with Safecility

Merseyside Housing Association improve their compliance and save unnecessary double and triple site visits

Halton Housing, a not-for-profit housing association managing over 7,000 homes, wanted to move away from manual emergency lighting testing across its widely spread residential blocks. Working with Safecility, they needed a simpler way to manage compliance because the existing process relied on monthly site visits by a third-party contractor, with PDF reports stored separately from in-house systems and no early warning of lighting failures.

Safecility provided its Emergency Lighting Controller, which streams bulb and battery failure data to a software platform for automated testing and real-time flagging of issues. After an initial pilot of five devices, Halton Housing found the solution easy to install with no extra wiring or complex setup, and it eliminated unnecessary repeat site visits while giving the team greater confidence that nothing was missed and compliance and resident safety were fully maintained.
