Health and safety

Health and safety requirements are a huge issue for facilities managers of small, medium and large buildings and campuses. 

Many companies can supply and install the full range of access control systems and corresponding automatic doors. Whether the whether the doors are; sliding, folding, swinging for access to an office building or even a roller shutter door in a warehouse or garage, all  doors are naturally enough subject to wear and tear, nothing lasts forever after all.  

When these doors and windows start to wear they pose a risk with regards to the health and safety standards which facility owners have a responsibility to maintain.

 All too often this means a partial or total replacement of a worn out piece of equipment at a potential cost of thousands if not more. More importantly often one of these doors can fall below safety standards. And it should be remembered that sectional fire doors, fire curtains,fire shutters and smoke curtains are also considered fire equipment therefore have even greater importance from a health and safety perspective. 

In the same way that neglecting car maintenance can lead to full engine replacement, neglecting faulty entry equipment can lead to full door replacement. However the cost of faulty fire entry equipment can also include loss of life.

Timely service, repair and preventative maintenance can make a capital investment potentially last years longer and create a huge effective cost reduction. A planned maintenance program will also ensure that facilities owners avoid the risk of liability from contravening health and safety standards not to mention fire safety standards.
