Fire shutter law in Scotland
A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, the dutyholder 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 Newton Mearns, the enforcing authority is the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.
Planning the work around your site
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.
