'Safe Gates Safe Lives!'  Our vital message for Gate Safety Week 2016:

Powered and automated gates are more and more frequently becoming part of the design of commercial, public and multiple occupancy buildings. Unfortunately though, the industry has faced problems with poorly installed and maintained powered gates, leading to accidents in the last few years, and sadly fatalities. Gate Safety Week takes place from 10-16 October and has been set up to raise awareness of the proper installation and maintenance of powered gates and how to prevent accidents.  The message for this year's campaign is clear: 'Safe Gates Save Lives'!  To find out more about how you can support Gate Safety Week, please click the box that applies to you and help us spread the message. In 2015, the Gate Safety Week campaign attracted messages of support from a number of high profile organisations and highlighted the importance of the cause.
