- Fitting spring-break and cable-break devices to older sectional doors installed without any fall protection.
- Fitting a full-height light curtain to an automatic sectional door on a busy pedestrian route.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Bangor (Down)?
In Northern Ireland, the business in control of the premises must keep doors and gates safe under the Workplace Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 and maintain work equipment under PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999, with HSENI as the regulator. The installer who supplies or motorises a door hands over the conformity documents and user instructions; CE marking remains the relevant mark for machinery here.
How the work is organised
For busy sites in County Down 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.
