What to specify
- Warning devices. Lights and sounders make sure people know when a door is about to move.
- Fall protection. If a spring, cable or drive fails, the door is caught before it falls.
- Panel upgrades. Control panels with monitored safety inputs where older ones fall short.
- Photocells. Beams across the opening that stop the door closing while broken.
- Force testing. Closing forces measured against BS EN 12453 limits and recorded.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting spring-break and cable-break devices to older sectional doors installed without any fall protection.
- Force-testing a run of loading bay doors and adjusting closing speeds where results exceed the limits.
- Adding anti-fall devices to heavy roller shutters identified in a workplace risk assessment review.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Lincoln 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
