Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland

Industrial doors in Kirkwall are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

How the work is organised

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.

Frequently asked questions

How often should our doors in Kirkwall be serviced?

At least once a year is industry practice, with six-monthly or quarterly visits for busy doors, harsh environments or where the manufacturer says so. We agree the interval for each door when setting up the contract.

Can servicing at our Kirkwall premises be done out of hours?

Yes. Visits can be scheduled for early mornings, evenings or weekends where doors cannot be taken out of use during the day. Any extra cost for out-of-hours work is shown in the contract.

Are repairs at our Kirkwall site included in the maintenance price?

No. The contract covers the scheduled visits. Parts and remedial work are quoted separately after each service, and repair call-outs between services are chargeable, so you stay in control of spending.
