OSHA requires at 1910.37(b)(6) that each exit sign “be illuminated to a surface value of at least five foot-candles by a reliable light source.” If emergency lighting provides the necessary illumination then that is all that is needed. However, if emergency lighting were to fail, and the exit signs were not properly illuminated, then the employer would be in violation of the standard.
