Loading bay safety in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999 requires dock levellers, shelters and powered doors to be maintained, and the Workplace Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 cover traffic routes around the dock. HSENI is the regulator. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398.
Keeping your site running during the work
On a first visit we record each door's make, size, control type and condition. That record makes later repairs quicker to price and helps you plan replacements before a door fails.
