Overhead Door Safety Information

Overhead Door Safety Requirements

As the industry evolves, overhead door safety requirements change. Johnson Equipment stays on top of the latest requirements and industry trends. We’re here to help your company comply with the latest regulations and, most importantly, safeguard your business’s most important asset—your people. One of the most common regulations business have to consider is the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

OSHA Overhead Door Safety Requirements

Overhead door systems are subject to OSHA compliance standards. OSHA requires that workplaces are free from recognized hazards that could cause death or serious harm. Our safety presentation will help your company keep workers safe and meet these standards.

Roll Up Door Safety

Industrial roll up doors are a common concern because they are often heavier than residential doors and may not be equipped to auto-reverse when they come in contact with an object or person. The components of a roll up door are also an issue because they are under a great deal of tension. While preventative maintenance can help in avoiding these issues, the constant tension of the cables and springs of a roll up door still pose a danger to workers. Our expert team is always available to address these issues and more. Contact us with your questions and to schedule an overhead door safety presentation for your company.
