Gate course

by msecadm4921

Gate Safe, the safety initiative which seeks to campaign on standards in automated gate safety, announces the roll out of its IOSH (Institution Occupational Safety and Health) accredited Gate Safe Aware training course.

 

 

The half day course has been developed with IOSH, working with the Tailored Course Approval Team.  The course is intended to provide an overview of the factors influencing the safety of an automatic gate and the recommended safety protocol that should be followed to ensure a compliant installation.  Installers who pass the final assessment will be entitled to access to the Gate Safe Aware logo for 12-months.  Gate Safe Aware Installers will have their details listed on the Gate Safe website. providing the end user with a route to identifying an installer that is equipped with the required knowledge to deliver a safe automated gate installation.

 

Gate Safe Founder Richard Jackson said: “We are delighted that one of our original objectives – to improve the understanding and interpretation of the standards and various guidance documents – is finally well on its way to being met.  We have incorporated much of the technical recommendations referenced in the Gate Safe / DHF Guide to Gate Safety Legislation and Standards, combined with additional guidance specifically from Gate Safe to develop this training module. Working together with IOSH has enabled us to create a specialised course, which offers the undisputed credibility of accreditation from the world’s biggest professional health and safety membership organisation. The more installers that take this course, the less likely the risk of yet another tragedy occurring as a result of an unsafe gate.”

 

The training is also aimed at health and safety managers who wish to update their knowledge on this safety issue. Gate Safe anticipates the first course will run in the second week of August. Anyone interested in taking the training should email [email protected] or call 01233 750 620.
