Options that matter on site
- Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.
- Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.
- Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.
- Smart activation. The door opens only for the traffic you choose, from forklifts on loops to pedestrians on buttons.
- Fabric doors. PVC-coated fabric roll-up doors for internal routes and sheltered external openings.
What this work can involve
- Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.
- Fitting a wind-resistant high-speed fabric door to a sheltered external yard opening, with traffic lights for drivers.
- Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Gainsborough?
In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.
How the work is organised
For busy sites in Lincolnshire 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.
