- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.

- Servicing fire shutters on conveyor openings, including checks that the conveyor clears the closing line before the shutter descends.
Fire shutter law in Scotland
A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, the dutyholder 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 Kirkcaldy, the enforcing authority is the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.
Planning the work around your site
