That’s entertainment

Famous bands such as the award winning Seattle-based Fleet Foxes have benefited from the safety compliance tests carried out by Warrington-based CLM.

The sound equipment and lighting of venues around the country have been tested by CLM’s network of engineers.

But this work is plain sailing compared to some of CLM’s more extreme sites. Engineers Jane van’tZand and Marion Borland from Inverness in Scotland tested appliances at the 1,244m-altitude Cairn Gorm Mountain’s ski centre.

This followed PAT checks in a primary school on the Ross-shire peninsula for Highland Council, where typical road conditions made bicycles the most practical onward transport from the small post service boat.

“The safety laws of course cover everyone, everywhere throughout the country, which is why our engineers travel to some of the most contrasting sites,” said CLM director Shaun Caddick.
