- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
Fire shutter law in Wales
A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as it applies in Wales, 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 Welshpool, the enforcing authority is Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service.
How the work is organised
Service and repair visits in Welshpool are booked around your shifts. Doors and shutters are taken out of use one at a time, so the rest of the site keeps working while each one is checked.
