What we fit in Shipley
- Warning devices. Beacons, sounders and traffic lights to warn people of a moving door.
- 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.
- Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.
- Fall protection. If a spring, cable or drive fails, the door is caught before it falls.
What this work can involve
- Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
- Fitting spring-break and cable-break devices to older sectional doors installed without any fall protection.
- Carrying out safety upgrades on the powered doors of a newly leased unit before a tenant moves in.
Powered door rules that apply in Shipley
Shipley is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
Access, phasing and timing
For busy sites in West Yorkshire 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.
