What to specify
- Certified install. Fitted strictly to the manufacturer's specification for fixings, wall type and fire-stopping.
- Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.
- Daily-use models. Motorised fire shutters that also work as everyday doors.
- Tested products. Shutters supplied with the manufacturer's fire test evidence and Declaration of Performance.
- Records. Commissioning and drop test records handed over for the fire safety file.
What this work can involve
- Fitting a 120-minute fire shutter to a conveyor opening between production and storage compartments, released by the fire alarm.
- Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.
- Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Failsworth?
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
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
