What this work can involve
- Replacing an obsolete kitchen servery fire shutter with a new shutter released by the fire alarm panel.
- Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.
- 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 Castleford?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.
