Is it compulsory to have your doors maintained?

Yes. Door maintenance is essential to ensure problem free and safe operation at all times. It is also a requirement of: -

Regulation 5 of the Workplace (Health, Safety & Welfare) Regulations 1992.

Regulation 6 of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998.

Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005

Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008.

Under European Directive 13241-1, it is mandatory for a maintenance record to be kept for each and every door with respect to their safe condition and operation. The directive covers the safety and performance of doors, gates and barriers located in areas in reach of people. Newly installed doors must also have a risk assessment in place for machinery in the workplace, covering its operational use, setting up and maintenance of the machinery, in accordance with the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER).

Industrial doors must be maintained annually, however, depending on the type of use, increased maintenance schedules should be considered. Speak to one of our team for further advise.
