Gate Safe has joined forces with FaCT (Fencing and Construction Training) to raise awareness of the required safety protocol for anyone involved in installing automated and manual gates.
FaCT is a provider of training and advice to the fencing sector in the UK. The two will be working to promote Gate Safe’s IOSH (Institution of Occupational Safety and Health) accredited Gate Safe Aware training courses, which run every month around the country.
Besides seeking to educate the industry on the importance of the correct safety protocol for an automated gate, FaCT and Gate Safe are looking to explore opportunities to create a dedicated training module which will provide guidance on the correct installation of a gate to minimise falling gate accidents.
Tim Drew, pictured, Managing Director of FaCT said: “We are delighted to be forging an alliance with Gate Safe, the pioneering charity which first brought the issue of automated gate safety to the attention of the nation. Our priority is, and always will be, the delivery of training which is representative of a standard for excellence in relation to safety issues. Education on the required safety protocol for automated gates will only be successful if it is presented in a format / tone of voice which is easily understood by the industry, for that reason, Gate Safe’s ‘plain English’ practical approach very much resonates with FaCT.”
