Door rules for workplaces in England

Doors in North Shields 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.

How the work is organised

Most installations in North Shields 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.

Questions from businesses in North Shields

How long does it take to fit traffic doors in North Shields?

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 Tyne and Wear?

Yes. We fit hygienic polyethylene, insulated and stainless steel traffic doors in food production, catering and retail sites across Tyne and Wear, with the leaf material chosen to suit your cleaning regime, chemicals and audit requirements.

Will traffic doors in North Shields help keep areas warm or cool?

They cut draughts and help separate temperature zones, particularly with insulated leaves. For chillers and freezers, a dedicated cold store door is needed, sometimes with traffic doors or strips used inside.
