Case Study - Life Safety Lighting Program for National Specialty Retailer

Life Safety Lighting Program for National Specialty Retailer

Through a collaborative partnership, Action Services Group designed and deployed a nationwide Life Safety Lighting management program that restored compliance and operational confidence.

Project Overview

  • Industry: Specialty Retail
  • Facility Type: Multi-Site Retail Stores (800+ Locations Nationwide)
  • Scope of Work: Development and implementation of a Life Safety Lighting management program for emergency signage and egress lighting systems
  • Services Provided:
    • 90-Minute Annual Testing
    • Monthly Push-Button Testing
    • Reporting, Documentation, and Maintenance Management
  • Coverage: Nationwide, with program execution across all locations

Challenges

The client’s previous life safety services provider struggled to maintain compliance with NFPA 101: Life Safety Code and OSHA standards. Missed testing cycles, inconsistent documentation, and poor reporting caused repeated failures during local fire marshal inspections, exposing the company to regulatory penalties and safety risks. The organization required a trusted national partner capable of implementing a standardized, scalable compliance program across hundreds of retail locations.

Our Solution

Action Services Group designed a customized Life Safety Lighting Program built around NFPA and OSHA requirements. The program includes regularly scheduled 90-minute emergency lighting tests, monthly push-button testing, and digital reporting to document all compliance activity. Through our ServicePoint Solutions platform, store managers and corporate facility teams now have real-time access to testing results, maintenance status, and compliance records.

Each location is serviced by certified technicians from our nationwide network of over 2,800 resource partners, ensuring consistent quality, accuracy, and rapid response. Since implementation, the client has achieved 100% compliance and has not failed a single fire marshal inspection.

Results

  • Achieved full compliance with NFPA 101 and OSHA standards
  • Eliminated fire marshal inspection failures across 850+ locations
  • Established a centralized testing, maintenance, and reporting process
  • Enhanced documentation accuracy and accountability through ServicePoint Solutions
  • Increased operational efficiency by removing manual compliance tracking burdens
