Safety Information

Question: How safe are automatic gates?
Answer: Automatic gates and barriers are well proven and accidents involving any sort of injury are infrequent. However, with the number of installations rising rapidly, and particularly those for the protection and safety of private house entrances, safety may sometimes be taken for granted. Users should always ask for a certificate of compliance and ensure that the operating instructions are always fully adhered to.

Question: What measures does Atlas Group take to minimise risk?
Answer: Safety is a very serious issue. As a matter of policy, we assess the risk of every installation and advise of any safety measures that we believe are necessary. We will not proceed with any installation if necessary safety precautions are not put in place.

Question: How many accidents have occurred with people using Atlas installed equipment?
Answer: We are not aware of a single accident and we intend to maintain this unblemished record.

Question: Does the equipment fail very often?
Answer: Access control equipment is inherently very reliable, but breakdowns do sometimes occur and we recommend considering a low-cost maintenance agreement for continued peace of mind.
