What we fit in Kidderminster

Fall protection. If a spring, cable or drive fails, the door is caught before it falls.
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.
Light curtains. Many beams from floor to head detect people and vehicles anywhere in the opening.
Panel upgrades. Where the old panel cannot monitor devices, we replace it with one that can.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting spring-break and cable-break devices to older sectional doors installed without any fall protection.
Upgrading an old relay control panel so monitored safety edges and photocells can be connected to it.
Adding anti-fall devices to heavy roller shutters identified in a workplace risk assessment review.

Powered door rules that apply in Kidderminster

Kidderminster 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.

Our door at our Kidderminster site has a bypassed safety edge. What should we do?
