Workshop emergency lighting needs to be installed in a higher position to illuminate the whole workshop in an emergency. This kind of work requires professionals and special tools and techniques to ensure safety. The installation process may involve high-risk work links such as aerial work and electrical installation, so it is necessary to strictly abide by safety regulations and operating procedures to ensure the safety of operators and the normal use of emergency lighting.

According to the Technical Specification for Safety of Work at Height in Building Construction, any work at height more than 2m (including 2m) from the datum plane of falling height is called work at height. Therefore, the third-party installation of workshop emergency lighting can also be regarded as climbing operation.
