Abstract

In order to support operators, the BG Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (BGIA) and the Structural objects expert committee have drawn up a guidance document dealing with the safety of power-operated revolving doors. It is aimed at safety professionals in businesses, and contains the practical experience gained from the studies. It reveals tips and examples of how the safety of revolving doors can be tested simply. The annex to the guidance document describes fabrication of a simple test body which can be used to examine the crushing and shear points on revolving doors.
