Safety Compliance
Many organizations simply overlook their door systems, and as a result don't include them in safety programs. But there are OHS/OSHA compliance requirements, and doors without mandated safety devices, or which don't receive proper maintenance, expose you to safety liability.
OHS/OSHA Compliance Requirements:
- Manufacturers' Specifications - OHS regulations in many jurisdictions specifically require equipment, including door systems, to be installed, maintained, and configured with safety devices according to manufacturers’ specifications and recommendations.
- General Duty Clauses – “General duty of care” provisions, such as Section 5(a)(1) of OSHA, have been used by regulators as the basis for citations and fines involving commercial door systems. Examples of deficiencies cited include: the absence of proper safety devices, poor door installation, and a lack of regular maintenance and inspections.
