What this work can involve

- Installing insulated traffic doors between a chilled preparation room and an ambient packing area.
- Replacing worn strip curtains with hygienic traffic doors in a food production area to make cleaning easier.
Which workplace rules apply to these doors?
For premises in Urmston, the Workplace Regulations 1992 set the basics: doors suitably constructed, swing doors giving a clear view through when closed, and maintenance under regulation 5. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, an emergency exit door must open easily in the direction of travel and must not be locked or fastened so it cannot be opened immediately in an emergency.
Keeping your site running during the work
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
