Since it was introduced in 2013 the European safety standard EN 16005 remains a key standard to be followed to ensure pedestrian safety at automatic doors . Considered to be a more onerous standard it defines the responsibilities of all those in the construction industry from manufacturer to end user and including architects and contractors .
GEZE UK has revised and updated its popular and informative RIBAapproved CPD Safeguarding Pedestrians from Accidents at Power Operated Doorsets .
The 40-minute seminar looks
|
at the European standard EN 16005 in detail and explains the responsibilities of all involved to ensure safety and compliance at all stages of construction .
It explains everything from activation distances for escape routes and non-escape routes ; the danger points of automatic sliding , swing and revolving doors and how safety features such as finger guards and protection leaves can be used to reduce the risk of injury ; and looks at revolving doors which are potentially the most dangerous and which received the most significant changes .
