Can you work out of hours in Ebbw Vale?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Ebbw Vale offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Why is the annual test done out of hours?
After a full-duration test the batteries need time to recharge, so the building is less protected for a while. Testing at the end of the day avoids that risk while people are inside.
