LBS MAINTENANCE – REDUCING COSTS and a LEGAL REQUIREMENT
LBS believe that proactive maintenance can reduce operational downtime, reduce the need for call-outs, extend life expectancy, substantially reducing costs and meet current legal requirements.
It is a legal obligation that all Industrial, Fire & Security shutters must be regularly inspected and serviced to ensure that they are safe and work correctly.
It is also now a requirement of ISO 1400 that such doors and shutters have a ‘Health & Safety Inspection – Service’ and that suitable records are kept
It is important to note that all Industrial, Fire & Security shutter must be regularly serviced and repaired to ensure that they continue to meet the requirements of:-
- Regulation 5 of the Workplace (Health, Safety & Welfare) Regulations 1992
- Regulation 6 of the Provision & Use of Works Equipment Regulations 1998
- Regulation 6 of the Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations 1997
In short, every shutter must be inspected and serviced at regular intervals and LBS provide a complete service
