- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.

Fire shutter law in England
A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must keep fire safety equipment maintained in efficient working order, and keeping test records is the usual way to show it. Shutters must also stay as the manufacturer tested and certified them, so repairs should use the right parts. In Crewe, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
Planning the work around your site
