I keep getting problems with walk tests on a service due to not being able to get into rooms to test devices especially in doctors and dentists surgery as someone is either having a tooth out or something i have these promblems due to unbooked services .................................anyone else have these problems when doing pm work.

Happens quite a lot, our company assume that we can just turn up any time for commercials

I always make a note of all detectors unable to test to cover my own ar5e

Ask for access, if refused note them down and get a signature.

people wish we would book them up

would certainly make my job 10x easier and not repeating yourself 12 times when you walk in the door

Even when booked in advance some rooms will be in use, Just turn up unannounced I say!

I appluad your good practise, we all like to 100% walk test.

But it isn't a requirement to do 100%, infact I'm sure NACOSS only insist on a meesly 25%..?

leave the speaker blasting out in reception and say i will stop it once i have tested all the zones

you will soon get access to them rooms. LOL

100% walk test = your ass is clear and you can walk out knowing you have done a good job.

If not note every zone untested and ask MD to sign you will soon get in the rooms.

Hmmmm reminds me of all those fire doors that have been nailed up. Pushing and shoving the bloody thing before you realise it's got a steel plate welded across the door frame on the other side so you have to unscrew the magnet
