Annual Gate Safety Inspections (MOT)
Just like your car needs an annual MOT, automated gates require regular safety inspections to ensure they operate safely and comply with legal requirements. Our comprehensive annual inspections include thorough testing, lubrication and cleaning of all components, force measurement, and detailed safety certification.
Legal Requirements
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, commercial properties must maintain automated gates to ensure they are safe. For residential properties, while not legally required, homeowners may be liable for harm caused by unsafe gates, and inspections are often required by insurance policies.
Failure to maintain safe gates can result in serious injury, legal liability, invalidated insurance, and in commercial settings, prosecution and substantial fines.
