What this work can involve

- Replacing worn strip curtains with hygienic traffic doors in a food production area to make cleaning easier.
Door rules for workplaces in England
Doors in Woolwich workplaces are covered by regulation 18 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992: a door that can be pushed open from either side must give, when closed, a clear view of the space close to both sides, which is why swing doors on traffic routes have vision panels. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, emergency exit doors must open easily and immediately in the direction of escape.
Planning the work around your site
Most installations in Woolwich can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Impact traffic doors in Woolwich: your questions
Are traffic doors suitable for forklift routes at our Woolwich warehouse?
Generally not. Forklifts are too heavy and fast for most traffic doors and quickly damage the leaves. For forklift routes we would usually recommend a high-speed door or a strip curtain instead.
How long does it take to fit traffic doors in Woolwich?
A pair of traffic doors usually takes a few hours to fit once made to size. Work can often be done between shifts or outside opening hours, so normal operations are barely affected.
Do you fit traffic doors in food premises around Greater London?
Yes. We fit hygienic polyethylene, insulated and stainless steel traffic doors in food production, catering and retail sites across Greater London, with the leaf material chosen to suit your cleaning regime, chemicals and audit requirements.
