How We Execute at Scale
Schools are high-traffic environments filled with thousands of electrical appliances—from classroom smartboards and IT suites to staff room kettles and canteen equipment. Executing high-volume testing in these spaces requires strict logistical planning and supreme efficiency.
Our Access NI-cleared engineering teams work systematically through every building. Whether deploying during the summer holidays or executing out-of-hours shifts, we ensure absolute safety with zero disruption to term-time learning.
“Our capacity for scale is unrivalled. During a recent summer compliance rollout for one of Belfast’s largest colleges, our teams successfully inspected, tested and certified over 15,000 individual items in just under three weeks.”
Why Choose CTS for Your School?
We do not just tick boxes; we provide a complete safety net for principals, facility managers and boards of governors. Every item we test undergoes a rigorous diagnostic process:
- Visual Inspections: Checking for frayed cables, damaged plugs and casing cracks.
- Earth Continuity Tests: Ensuring the protective earth path is fully intact.
- Insulation Resistance: Verifying that internal wiring is safely insulated.
- Microwave Leakage: Specific safety testing for canteen facilities.
Upon completion, your school is provided with a comprehensive, itemised digital asset register and a full certificate of compliance. Any faulty or dangerous items are instantly isolated, reported and removed from circulation.
