What this work can involve
- Servicing fire shutters on conveyor openings, including checks that the conveyor clears the closing line before the shutter descends.
- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.
- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Tiverton?
The responsible person, usually the employer, owner or managing agent, has the duty under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Your fire risk assessment should list each shutter, how it is released and how often it is tested, and the local fire and rescue authority may ask how the shutters are maintained.
How the work is organised
Testing and repairs can mean closing an opening, so we agree timing and access with you before the visit, including early, late or weekend slots where the site needs them.
