CHS and their contractors will be carrying out essential electrical maintenance work on the electrical switch gear at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary. This will happen at 6am on Saturday, 16th November and Saturday, 23rd November. You can see all the affected areas and dates below.

At 06:00 affected services will experience a momentary interruption of power for approximately 15 seconds until the generator takes site load. When the site returns to mains power there will be no disruption to supplies.

Can colleagues please be reminded to switch off their computers correctly when leaving work prior to the electrical shutdown. This means computers must be switched off at the socket. If this does not happen there is a risk that data on display will be lost. 

Prior to any electrical work commencing, CHS will visit critical areas such as A&E, ICU, Diagnostic Imaging, Theatres and Pathology to ensure colleagues are aware of the planned work and to ensure it is safe and appropriate to carry out the work. 

All lifts will be appropriately signed and checked during the power interruptions.

Please direct all queries on the day HRI Switchboard on 01484 342 000. Any queries around this work prior to the day should be directed to Service Performance Team on Extension 2439 or 2530 or Email: val.rigg@cht.nhs.uk or directly to CHS on Extensions 5493 / 3497.
