Entrapment Zone Hazard - Body parts may become entrapped between a gate and a stationary object
when the gate begins to move, which can result in serious injury or death. Pedestrians must stay clear
of the gate path, and any area where gate motion is close to stationary objects.
•
Pinch Points Hazard - The opening mechanism may have arms that can overlap with a scissoring
effect, which can result in serious injury. Pedestrians must stay clear of the opening mechanism at all
times, particularly when gate is opening.
Be sure that warning signs are prominently displayed on both sides of the gate and any other place
where danger exists.
