GATE SAFE CALLS FOR URGENT REVIEW OF UKS AUTOMATED GATES

Gate Safe, the safety campaign which is working towards improved standards in gate automation, is calling for urgent action following yet another incident relating to a child whose head became trapped in electric gates on 28th July this year. The accident happened on a residential housing development in Gorton, near Manchester and involved a seven-year-old girl who narrowly escaped serious injury following the activation of an electric gate as she tried to squeeze through a gap between the gates and post. The girl was cut free by fire fighters and thankfully suffered no major injuries. However, the accident represents a sharp reminder of the tragic deaths of two children last year, in two separate automated gate incidents and the real threat of another fatality occurring if unsafe automatic gate installations remain in service. had been checked to confirm compliance with current good safety practice. Commenting on the incident, Richard Jackson, CEO of Jacksons Fencing, the company behind the inception of the Gate Safe campaign says, We are urging all professionals involved in the automatic gate installation and gate maintenance process from specifiers through to installers to ensure that any gate automation project they are involved in meets with the safety criteria listed on the Gate Safe web site. It would appear from the initial reports surrounding this accident, that once again, a child has been unnecessarily subjected to a terrifying ordeal which could so easily have been prevented if the gate Gate Safe recommends that an electric gate features the necessary safety devices to protect the user and other pedestrians from any potential trap points and that no unprotected gaps under the fence or gate can exceed 100 mm, whilst any vertical pales must also have no gaps exceeding more than 100 mm. It would appear that in this instance these precautions had not been observed. In addition, had the gate featured the correct safety mechanisms as advised by Gate Safe and the HSE, the gate automation would have gone into reversion, thus instantly freeing the child. Sadly, this case brings the total number of reported automated gate accidents
to six, proving the validity of Gate Safes repeated warnings advising of the impending danger associated with the worrying number of unsafe electric gates in the UK. Gate Safe will continue to lobby for the enhanced safety of all automated gate installations whilst also pushing for an increased awareness of the need to embrace on-going maintenance programmes to encourage continued compliance. In addition the campaign is striving for action to be taken to trigger the policing of gates which were installed prior to the existing guidelines coming into force.

pETER MEpSTED OF php hEALTh AND SAFETy TAKES A LOOK AT LIFTING AND hOW IT EFFECTS ThE FENCING INDUSTRy
One area of health and safety that I often perceive as misunderstood is the regulations relating to lifting and the requirements relating to equipment inspection. Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) specify and identify specific requirements that need consideration. Fencing is not an activity normally perceived as having extensive lifting operations, however, for example the use of a forklift, hiab, skid steer, block and tackle or winch all fall within the scope of LOLER. LOLER requires that lifting equipment (for use at work) is strong and stable enough for the particular use and marked to indicate safe working loads and positioned and installed to minimise any risks. LOLER also requires that equipment is used safely (i.e. work planned, organised and carried out by competent persons) and is subject to ongoing thorough examination and (where appropriate) inspection by competent persons. The range of equipment covered by the regulations is also often not fully understood and includes cranes, fork-lifts, hoists, mobile elevating work platforms (scissor lifts), jacks etc. Additionally, any accessories such as slings, eyebolts. 12 fencing news August 2011 Dont forget if you allow employees to use their own equipment then this is also covered by the Regulations. Not only must the lifting equipment be sufficiently strong and stable for proposed use but also anything attached (e.g. timber pallet, lifting point) must be suitable as well. Consideration must be given to the actual load as well a loose and poorly balanced load can compromise even the best of equipment. The positioning (or installation) must be done in such a way that the risk of injury to people is minimised from either the equipment or falling load. An example may be using a fork-lift on uneven ground. In general, before being used for the first time, ALL lifting equipment (including accessories) must undergo a thorough examination by a competent person. Subsequently, while in use, lifting equipment must be subject to thorough examination on a regular basis and at least annually and the examination must be carried out by a competent person. Following thorough examination or inspection a report must be submitted by the competent person to the employer to take appropriate action as identified. There is one MAJOR proviso in the Regulations which is also misunderstood and that relates to lifting equipment used for lifting people. That is the requirement (in addition to the items previously noted) for it to be clearly marked according to its use, and that all necessary precautions are taken to eliminate or reduce risk to those people. The examination must be carried out SIX MONTHLY and not annually.
Clearly fencing work is very much under the scope of the LOLER Regulations and these should be given adequate consideration.

Manufacturers of Timber Drying Kilns for over 30 years
Over the last three years, the fencing sector has become an increasingly important market for Kiln Services Ltd. With many companies installing kilns to ensure they obtain the correct penetrations and chemical loading by drying down to fibre saturation point prior to treatment. This helps to ensure that the preservative impregnation standards of BS8417:2011 can be achieved and in particular where the minimum desired service life of 15 years defined in the Standard is required for components destined for Use Class 4 (ground contact) applications. The lack of preservative penetration and loading is almost always related to a high mosture content in timber prior to treatment. When drying species that are classed as resistant to treatment such as spruce, care should be taken not to dry below the fibre saturation point; a final moisture of 33% usually provides the best results. Drying programmess should be modified to ensure maximum temperatures do not exceed 65 centigrade, with relative humidity no lower than 55%. These programmess will extend the drying time but avoid the outer layers drying too quickly leading to pit closure and a resistance to penetration. Although there is obviously a cost in removing a proportion of the moisture content prior to treatment, this is minimal when compared with the replacement and installation of a failed product, but just as important, the possibility of customers turning to other less sustainable materials due to a misguided lack of confidence in timber, for those companies producing waste wood by products, the renewable heat incentive also opens up new opportunities for reducing drying costs.

Janet.advises, For the Plant Owner/Operator - Whichever fluid you are using in the plant; treat according to the advice given by the fluid provider. For the Timber suppliers and end user ask for details of the treatment used; which user class was used - UC4? And what does UC4 mean? For the customer taking timber to the plant Dont just ask for it to be treated Green - especially if its a post! For the End user/Public insist its treated correctly and accept that means paying the going rate for it. Always ask how your posts are treated
