Fire safety risk assessment: small and medium places of assembly, published by HM government in 2006 and updated in 2024, defines way guidance as: ‘low mounted luminous tracks positioned on escape routes in combination with exit indicators, exit marking and intermediate direction indicators along the route, provided for use when the supply to the normal lighting fails, which do not rely on an electrical supply for their luminous output.’
