If you've only got domestic installation experience then I might question your competence for this work, you should be familiar with the type of installation to be inspected.
Are you familiar with 3-phase systems-you will find most schools are 3-phase for kitchen, woodwork, metalwork supplies etc. as well as the general distribution system.
Nightshift/out of hours is a must for obvious safety reasons and you may need access equipment for main hall/gymnasium lighting.
The caretakers can be a great help for locating difficult to find circuits etc. always get a mobile number!
In classrooms, always check behind posters and pictures for switches/sockets, they always get covered up!
Anything else specific, just ask, we do about 40 schools a year!
Don’t be too surprised if you can’t get any readings from the sockets in the science labs. They are usually supplied via “Blackley Units (Transformers with RCD’s & MCB’s)”. Also, make sure the isolators and emergency stops are functional in the workshops.
kamikaze are you feeling ok mate? It's the first time in 838 posts that you've talked about electrics. (i know you'll get your own back
