Owner/Occupier Inspection
To ensure continued safe operation of a power operated door installation, the installation and
its environment should be subjected to systematic operational checks as often as is appropriate
to the type of installation and its traffic flow, as detailed in the log book.
The owner/occupier is responsible for undertaking weekly safety test of the gate, unless a
different frequency has been identified in the hazard analysis and risk assessment
The building owner/occupier is deemed to be the person responsible for the
day-to-day use of the gates.
The test results should be recorded and retained by the building
owner/occupier for at least 1 year.
For safety reasons it should NOT be assumed the gate is working safely.
There should be no notice boards, literature racks, merchandise displays or other distractions
or obstructions in the vicinity of the gates which may congest or inhibit traffic flow.
If a fault is found with a safety device, the gates MUST be switch off and made safe. Use of the
gate should not be reinstated until repairs have been undertaken by a competent person.
