SAFETY WARNINGS FOR OPEN-ROLLER GATES
AND ORNAMENTAL GRILLE-TYPE GATES
▲ WARNING: INJURIES ASSOCIATED WITH AUTOMATIC GATES ARE
MAINLY INCURRED WITH OPEN-ROLLER GATES AND
ORNAMENTAL “GRILLE TYPE” GATES
OPEN-ROLLER GATES
▲ Injuries occur when people get their hands caught between the top of the
gate and the roller. This potential pinch point should be guarded
whenever an automatic operator is installed. Roller Guards are available
from various fence suppliers for refitting of these rollers.
ORNAMENTAL “GRILLE TYPE” GATES
▲ Injuries occur when people put their arms through openings in the grilles
when the gate is operated. The person cannot retract his/her arm and it
gets caught between the grille and the fence post or fence. The potential
hazard must be guarded. It can be simply done by placing a screen mesh
on the gate and fence in the area of the gate. The screen must be a
minimum of 4 feet high from the bottom (unless the gate and fence are
shorter) with openings that a 2¼-inch sphere cannot fit through. This will
help to prevent access through openings when the gate travels.
