Schools have a legal responsibility to maintain workshop equipment in a safe condition that complies with the relevant safety standards. This includes an annual Service Report where the condition and compliance of every machine is noted and any necessary repairs or shortcomings are highlighted for attention.
TechSoft will carry out this work and set up the required service records schools need to retain. These records will detail compliance and make recommendations about any items that fail to meet the required standard. It is the school’s responsibility to act on these recommendations. If required, TechSoft will provide a quotation to carry out any remedial work identified.
Servicing includes reporting on all machines, lubrication and adjustment of drive belts, guards and interlocks as needed. Machine repairs (as such) are not included. Larger departments may require more than a single one-day visit, please contact TechSoft for advice prior to booking.
N.B. COSHH responsibilities require all extraction systems to be tested for correct flow rates and filter efficiency. This work is normally carried out by H&S specialists, but, if required, TechSoft can arrange this for you.
