What to specify
- Warning devices. Audible and visual warnings let people know the shutter is about to close.
- Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.
- Fail-safe closing. Controlled descent on alarm or power loss, with governor speed control.
- Records. Commissioning and drop test records handed over for the fire safety file.
- Tested products. Every shutter comes with its maker's furnace test or assessment evidence and performance declaration.
What this work can involve
- Fire-stopping the head and jambs of a replacement shutter exactly to the manufacturer's installation details.
- Supplying a fire shutter to a fire engineer's specification on a new-build unit, timed to the main contractor's programme.
- Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Rochdale?
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.
