BASIC RISK ASSESSMENT.
To ensure continued safe operation of the gates, 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 many maintenance visits are schedule to be carried out at quiet times it is not always
possible to establish the true user characteristics. Therefore, for the day-to-day use of the
gates the owner/occupier is deemed to be the person responsible.
Carry out a basic risk assessment of the gate based on the hazards listed below and record all
the user type that may use the gates. Assess the risk and decide if a full risk assessment is
required. If you have any doubt recommend that a full risk assessment should be carried out.
