Industrial door safety and a brief introduction to PUWER
At Amyco, we specialise in industrial door safety solutions that help businesses across the UK stay compliant, secure, and protected. Whether you run a warehouse, manufacturing plant, logistics hub or distribution centre, your doors play a vital role in the safety and efficiency of your site. That’s why our expertly delivered services focus on more than just function — we prioritise safety.
Industrial vertical rolling doors are subject to PUWER, this is mandatory.
It means a service must be carried out at a yearly minimum, RAMs must be implemented as the industrial rolling door is classed as a machine.
All industrial rolling doors must have mandatory unique reference identification and a logged record for all servicing works, maintenance works, misuse and abuse damage that has occured.
Why Industrial Door Safety Matters
Your industrial doors are more than just a barrier — they’re an essential part of your site’s overall safety strategy. Regular assessments ensure that your doors meet current UK safety regulations, helping to prevent injuries, avoid costly downtime, and maintain insurance compliance.
Through keeping a detailed record of the doors maintenance history, we can pin point if the door is reaching uneconomical repair or even if the product is the wrong product for the application, to help save on unnecessary maintenance costs.
We can advise if your door is safe and meets current requirements, such as a door may have been fitted with a safety edge and photo cell, meaning a mandatory force test and certificate must be applied, with this being a costly process. We may conclude in such a situation that light barriers are a better and safer option to upgrade to, as light barriers do not require a force test and are non contact.
Unmaintained or not properly specified doors can result in serious accidents, placing your team at risk and your business under scrutiny. That’s why every industrial door safety assessment we carry out includes detailed checks of safety features such as sensors, manual overrides, locking systems, power supply isolator and emergency access.
