Product Overview

This risk assessment covers planning, delivery, installation, connection, testing and completion activities for roller shutters. It supports identifying hazards and planning controls for materials, access, moving components and shared work areas.

Activities & Risks Covered

This assessment addresses activities and risks including:

Assess the site, shutter details, access, services and weather conditions
Unload, store and inspect shutter components
Set up the work area and manage unauthorised access
Use access equipment and manage work at height
Lift, carry and position shutter components
Drill, fix and use power tools for installation
Manage electrical isolation, connection and concealed services
Tension components, commission the shutter and complete functional testing
Coordinate lifting equipment, mobile plant and vehicle movements
Clear waste, identify residual hazards and provide completion information

Who is this for?

Suitable for contractors, workers, supervisors and businesses installing roller shutters.

Activities & Hazards Covered

Activity	Potential Hazards
Planning and site assessment	Unidentified site hazards including access restrictions, unstable surfaces, nearby services and public interface Incorrect shutter size, weight or fixing method leading to unsafe handling or structural issues Poor coordination with other trades creating conflicting work areas Weather exposure affecting outdoor installation stability and access
Delivery, unloading and material storage	Crush injuries from shifting loads during unloading Manual handling strain from heavy shutter components, guides and barrels Slips, trips and blocked access from poor storage Damage to components causing later failure during installation
Work area set-up and exclusion zone	Unauthorised persons entering the installation area Workers struck by moving plant, tools or falling materials Vehicle or mobile plant interaction near the work face Distraction and congestion in shared work areas
Access equipment and working at height	Falls from ladders, platforms or scaffolds Overreaching while positioning guides, headbox or brackets Falling tools or components onto people below Using unsuitable access equipment or makeshift platforms
Manual handling and positioning of shutter components	Musculoskeletal injury from lifting, carrying, twisting or holding awkward loads Pinch and crush injuries while aligning guides, brackets and curtain assemblies Sudden load shift when moving long or unbalanced components Hand injuries from sharp edges on metal components
Drilling, fixing and use of power tools	Cuts, eye injuries or entanglement from tools and fixings Noise, dust and flying particles during drilling or grinding Loss of control of tools when working overhead or from access equipment Incorrect fixings or poor substrate condition leading to failure of installed components
Electrical connection and isolation	Electric shock from contact with energised circuits or faulty equipment Unexpected energisation during connection, testing or adjustment Damage to concealed electrical services while drilling Incorrect wiring causing malfunction, fire or uncontrolled movement
Tensioning, commissioning and functional testing	Stored energy release from springs, tensioned parts or motor-driven movement Entanglement, pinch or crush injuries during test operation Falling components if fixings, limits or supports fail under load Unexpected movement exposing nearby workers or occupants
Plant interaction and lifting equipment	Workers struck by forklifts, EWPs or other mobile plant Dropped loads during lifting of shutters or headboxes Instability of plant on uneven ground Using plant outside rated capacity or by unlicensed operators
Completion, housekeeping and handover	Trips, punctures or cuts from offcuts, packaging and fixings Unauthorised use of an incomplete or defective shutter Residual hazards left in the area after the crew departs Lack of information for the client or next worker about safe use and defects
