Health and Safety Options

In accordance with the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, BS EN 12453:2001 and BS EN 12445:2001 it is highly recommended that the following items are fitted to your gate.

• Safety Edge to leading edge of gateleaf - to prevent the gate closing on a person or vehicle in the event it is activated.
• Additional safety edges to internal and external motor posts              
• Weldmesh infill (8 gauge x 50mm square, clipped behind bars) 
• Gate post mounted audible alarm or flashing beacon                             
• Pedestrian guard rail around run-back area at a height of 1000/2000mm 200 x 50 profiled mesh, finish as gate. This is to prevent serious injury to a person, should they stray into that area whilst the gate is operating.
• Safety induction loops cut into the road surface. This will prevent the gate from closing on a vehicle within the aperture.
• Safety photocells. This acts as additional safety for pedestrians and high tail lorries or low-slung vehicles. Usually two pairs of photocells are fitted at 700mm
