Fire safety duties for shutters in Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland the person with fire safety duties (often called the appropriate person) has the duty under the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 to keep fire safety measures, including fire shutters, maintained and in efficient working order. Keeping test records is expected good practice. Enforcement in Magherafelt is by the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service.

How the work is organised

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
