SafeWork NSW has investigated a number of incidents where workers have been crushed by electric sliding gates, the most recent a fatality in June 2020.
An electric sliding gates video safety alert has been produced to help highlight the risks associated with using such gates. If you have electric gates at your workplace, or anyone you know has similar gates at their workplace, we encourage you to view the video and share it within your industry.
This video safety alert, and others, can be viewed on the SafeWork NSW YouTube channel.
