What to specify
- Safety edges. Pressure-sensitive or optical edges that stop and reverse the door on contact.
- Light curtains. Full-height multi-beam detection across the whole opening.
- Records. Written results and updated risk assessment for your files.
- Fall protection. Spring-break, cable-break and anti-fall devices against suspension failure.
- Force testing. We measure how hard the door closes and record the results at each test point.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Replacing a damaged or bypassed safety edge on a yard roller shutter and re-testing its closing forces.
- Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
- Force-testing a run of loading bay doors and adjusting closing speeds where results exceed the limits.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Hatfield 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.
How the work is organised
Sites in and around Hatfield vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
