Our School Design Technology workshops
To support learning, DT workshops need to be both safe and modern. At Eduspace Solutions, we ensure students have the ideal safe workshop. The school workshop solutions we provide include three options:
- Engineering and technical workshop service. This includes CAD design & installation and contracting of all workshop machinery, design and technology tools, and equipment. We ensure your DT workshop is suitable for your school.
- Providing high-quality gas safety solutions. This includes gas proving and isolation, gas detection, air quality monitoring and solenoid valves.
- Production and sourcing of extraction systems. This includes installing and ordering all extraction systems, and fire and smoke damper services. All systems are qualified and certified.
We also offer a wide range of maintenance and training programs.
DT Workshops Installation service
To guarantee the safety of our workshop equipment solutions, we ensure that:
- Our workshop design service is BIM compliant. This includes condition reports and legacy audits for a long-term, cost-effective learning space.
- We use certified engineers to ensure we meet all legal requirements.
- All engineers are gas-safe registered and BOHS qualified.
- We meet compliance from start to finish. We adhere to HSG258 and BS4163:2014. We also adhere to the HSE advice Building Bulletin 81 and PUWER 98.
- On-site training is also part of the DT design and installation package. We also provide DT machine maintenance. This ensures safe testing and compliance in your DT department.
Machine Maintenance
We also provide DT machine maintenance, which covers many tasks. These tasks include assessing the condition of machinery and conducting tests or adjustments.
There are several reasons for DT machine maintenance in your department:
- Maintain safe working conditions.
- Extend the lifespan.
- Reduce the health and safety risks for both students and staff.
- Minimise the cost of a breakdown or repair.
- Improve efficient working and problem solving.
- Ensure compliance.
Compliance with health and safety laws requires machine testing and servicing. Sufficient staff training is also vital for conditions where someone’s safety could be at risk. This is to ensure compliance with laws and guidelines.
Also, the quality and maintenance of DT equipment can affect risk assessments. Departments can use the feedback from inspectors for their risk assessments. Risk assessments can affect the frequency of machine maintenance.
