Gate safety scheme
To increase levels of safety of powered automatic gates, the Powered Gate Group of the Door & Hardware Federation (DHF) has launched a training scheme that will be compulsory for all DHF members who install powered gates.

Two two-day training courses for DHF member employees will be held in September and October, with more due to be held in early 2014. All installers who successfully complete the course will be awarded the DHF Gate Safety Diploma.
The Diploma will cover all aspects of gate safety from initial risk assessment through to force testing.
