Regulations | Health & Safety
Powered gates are machines which need to be properly designed, manufactured, installed and maintained to avoid serious, even fatal, injuries. Most are located in areas where vulnerable people may be put at risk.
Powered gates are subject to product safety and health and safety law. As they are frequently unique machines the assessment of risk is a vital part of their design and construction.
Powered gates will need to be checked regularly and maintained to remain safe in use.
While health and safety law does not apply to domestic householders with (privately owned) powered gates,
they may still be liable for any harm or damage they cause.
