Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Lerwick?

In Scotland, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

Keeping your site running during the work

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Questions from businesses in Lerwick

What should we do if a spring breaks on our Lerwick door?

Stop using the door, keep people clear of the area beneath it and do not try to open it with the motor. Call for a repair; springs store energy and should only be handled by a trained engineer.

How soon can an engineer come to our site in Lerwick?

We book visits as soon as we can and confirm the expected date when you call. We do not promise fixed response times. Photos of the fault help the engineer bring the right parts.

Do you repair fire shutters across the Highlands and Islands?

Yes. We repair fire shutters across the Highlands and Islands, using parts and methods that keep to the manufacturer's specification so the shutter continues to perform as tested, and we drop-test it after the repair to prove it closes.
