When working in hospitals, we realise that the relocations are likely to be taking place whilst departments are still fully functional. It is for this reason that patient care and the health and safety of members of the public as well as out own staff is paramount to all planning and preparation works.
Oval Services have a full working knowledge of Laboratory relocations, all of which have unique requirements, with varying combinations of specialist equipment, clean room environments, and bespoke items.
We also have a full understanding of the health and safety requirements and the latest legislation whilst working within laboratories, including eye protection, gloves and emergency procedures.
