Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Seaham 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

For busy sites in County Durham the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
