Options that matter on site
- Fall protection. Spring-break, cable-break and anti-fall devices against suspension failure.
- Warning devices. Lights and sounders make sure people know when a door is about to move.
- Safety edges. Pressure-sensitive or optical edges that stop and reverse the door on contact.
- Records. Written results and updated risk assessment for your files.
- Force testing. Closing forces measured against BS EN 12453 limits and recorded.
Typical scopes of work
- 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.
- Adding warning beacons and photocells to a door that is being converted to automatic closing on a timer.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Harrogate?
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.
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.
