Options for door safety upgrades in Lincolnshire
- Fall protection. If a spring, cable or drive fails, the door is caught before it falls.
- Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.
- Warning devices. Lights and sounders make sure people know when a door is about to move.
- Light curtains. Many beams from floor to head detect people and vehicles anywhere in the opening.
- Records. You receive a record of the devices fitted and the tests carried out.
Typical scopes of work
- 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.
- Carrying out safety upgrades on the powered doors of a newly leased unit before a tenant moves in.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Lincolnshire?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
