What this work can involve

Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Edinburgh?

The dutyholder, usually the employer, owner or managing agent, has the duty under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. Your fire risk assessment should list each shutter, how it is released and how often it is tested, and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service may ask how the shutters are maintained.

Planning the work around your site

For busy sites in Edinburgh and the Lothians the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
