Keeping electrical safety in check

Keeping electrical safety in check

Back at Cambridge Building Society

25th November 2021

We were delighted to continue delivering fixed wire testing to all branches of the Cambridge Building Society recently. The project is complex and requires detailed planning as we are only able to start work when the branches are closed for business for the day. This clearly minimises disruption and inconvenience for the staff and their customers, and it enables us to work through uninterrupted. Given that we have to shut down their servers and all essential equipment, it makes sense for us to work out of hours rather than during their normal working hours. All branches are then returned to Cambridge Building Society before they open for business the following day in order to enable them to power up servers, tills and PCs prior to re-opening. Once the project is completed, we issue an Electrical Installation Condition Report – or EICR – to confirm that the branch is safe to use.

For Mark Smith, owner of MS Electrical, working out of hours is beneficial for all concerned. ‘It’s vital that anyone using a Cambridge Building Society branch – whether they’re a customer, supplier or member of staff – can do so safe in the knowledge that fixed wire testing has been carried out,’ comments Mark. ‘Clearly, we would cause significant disruption if we were to attempt to carry this out when the branches were open, so we offer to start work when they close for the evening and guarantee to hand the branch back to the client in good time for them to open up in the morning. It’s a system that works well for all concerned, as we are also able to work efficiently without interruption.’

At MS Electrical we offer fixed wire testing in Cambridge. Should your fixed wire testing renewal date be approaching, please contact us for advice or to request a no-obligation quotation.
