Stanair is reminding customers of the risks posed by industrial doors.
Business owners and managers who run commercial premises have a legal obligation to guarantee the safety of their staff and the public entering the premises.
Industrial doors pose a variety of risks if not looked after, and carrying out regular door servicing will help minimise risks within the workplace.
Doors are prone to damage from vehicles. In the worst case scenario they can become a danger to people who use them.
For example, strip curtains that are too heavy for their brackets could cause serious damage to vehicles and injury to people.
The correct weight helps secure the curtains into a safe and fixed position, preventing them from becoming loose and the brackets from breaking.
However, if the curtains are not the correct weight, the day to day operations of a vehicle driving through the curtains could be enough to bring them down.
This is why regular servicing is essential – to spot developing problems early and prevent them from becoming dangerous.
Stanair has 35 years expertise in the installation of industrial doors. Applying this is vital to guaranteeing the safety of strip curtains and other industrial doors.
