Electric gate warning issued

摘要

The HSE has issued a safety alert following the recent deaths of two children involving automatic sliding gates.rnThe alert, which applies to all powered-access gates, underlines that limiting the closing forces of gates alone will not provide sufficient protection to meet the relevant standards, and installers must fit additional safety features to gates in public areas. Those in control of the maintenance of electric gates are also reminded to review their risk assessments on a regular basis.
