Electric Gate and Barrier Safety
Whether electric gates are fitted to a school, a place of business or a private residence, there are high standards for their safe operation. Dangerous installations, irregularly maintained systems and incorrect operation all put users and people in the vicinity at risk of serious injury or worse. As well as the distress such events could cause to all concerned, there are reputational risks to be managed. This is why it is critical to ensure the safety of any electric gate or barrier installation on your premises.
Our experienced engineers at Site Services UK can carry out a full risk assessment of your system, which will include identifying any hazards presented by your gates; and estimating the severity and likelihood of each of these risks occurring. We then assess the extent to which these are presently mitigated and can make expert recommendations on steps that can be taken to ensure they are addressed for the future. This will give you peace of mind that you have taken every sensible precaution to avoid your system causing injury.
Fully Compliant with Industry Standards
There is a legal requirement for automatic gates and traffic barrier systems to comply with the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. These regulations lay down the critical requirements for the installation, testing and ongoing compliance of automatic gate systems, preventing the risks associated with entrapment or crushing between any of the moving parts.
As well as testing your system for compliance, we can also advise on safe operation and the benefits of ongoing preventative maintenance and force testing. Call today to make an appointment for peace of mind that your system is safe for you and those around you.
