When installing safety gates you need to make sure they are installed at the same height as your guard railing. You would not want to install the gate at the floor level as this could make the entryway unsecure and unsafe. Rather the gate should be able to block entry to the location where someone has to physically open the gate and are unable to step over it.
Anytime you are installing permanent guard railings in your facility you will also want to include safety gates at set intervals. The gates allow your authorized employees to cross from one work area to another. Gates also help to prevent people from falling when they are used on walkways elevated above dangerous equipment and machinery. In this situation the gate not only serves as an entry and exit but also a barrier.
Install Safety Gates at the Same Time You Install Permanent Guard Railings
