Design and Installation
As we are a leading national installer of automated gate systems we take pride in the systems and service we provide to our customers. As a part of this we provide advice to both clients and designers on systems prior to installation, including any Health and Safety issues that may arise, such as entrapment / pinch / crush points that could potentially result in injury (and possible subsequent prosecution / litigation), and inform the client of our recommendations to the proposed installation in order to avoid such events from happening (to meet compliance with and / or as set out in BS EN 12978 and BS EN 12453 and the EU Machinery Directive 98/37/EC). If the client does not accept our recommendations then Gate-A-Mation Ltd. cannot and will not be held responsible for any accidents or incidents caused as a result of the failure of the client to act on these recommendations.

Safety Review of Existing Systems
Please visit our Safety Review page for more information on risk assessing existing systems.

Alternatively, a copy of our comprehensive Safety Review Document can be viewed or downloaded for completion offline, prior to completing an online version of the document and submitting it to us for evaluation.

It is essential that a Safety Review Document is downloaded and then completed online because it enables us to properly evaluate your system. We will then arrange a site visit if one is deemed necessary from the answers submitted.

Health and Safety Executive (HSE) Notices
We would also like to draw your attention some essential reading published by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regarding the risks associated with automated gates.

The first document presents the risks and some background and the second document covers what you need to know and do when specifying and designing a system.
