Gate Safety

Recent tragic events have highlighted that gate safety devices are paramount for the protection of young children in particular.

Legislation governing safety for this type of equipment has existed for some years but has been ignored by many companies due to either ignorance or simply in order to win a contract on price.

Many hazards exist and a full risk assessment should be carried out to identify trapping hazards shearing points, crushing and impact zones.

It is estimated that 50% of all automatic gates do not comply with the existing safety legislation.

Ignorance of this legislation is not a defence and directors of premises with automatic doors or gates face prison sentences should an accident occur and it is found that this was due to inadequate safety measures being employed.
