Noble’s Hospital first planned power outage a success

Tuesday saw the first of three planned power outages successfully undertaken at Noble’s Hospital.

The outage was originally planned for Monday evening, but was delayed for 24 hours due to travel delays for some of the engineers. The outage was managed as an internal critical incident using a command structure, and the whole event ran smoothly.

These planned outages are necessary for outdated electrical switchgear to be replaced.

Work commenced at 21:00 and was concluded at 02:00, with the incident being “stood down” formally at 02:45.

The next planned power outage will take place tonight between 21:00 and 01:00.
