Services
FM providers and Employers are legally obligated to ensure doors are safe for users, with at least an annual service, though more frequent inspections are recommended.
Why must you service your doors?
It is a legal requirement
As stipulated in the Provision and Use of Workplace Equipment Regulations all types of manually and power operated doors are to be subject to a controlled regular maintenance and service contract, where doors are inspected by a competent qualified person and a record kept of each inspection.
Specifically under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER), powered doors, shutters, and gates in workplaces must be maintained in an efficient state, in good repair, and regularly inspected to ensure safety.
Employers are legally obligated to ensure these doors are safe for users, with at least an annual service, though more frequent inspections are recommended.
Wear and tear
Any product with moving parts that is used on a regular basis will fail if not serviced and maintained on an annual or bi-annual basis depending on how often it is used.
Regular servicing will ensure the longevity of a door, spotting potential ware and tare issues on parts which can be replaced before resulting in expensive repairs.
Accidents in the workplace
Ensuring the door is in a safe and well maintained condition will help in preventing accidents and damage in the workplace.
