MAINTENANCE CONTRACTS

HOW CAN PREMIER MULTIDOOR SYSTEMS LIMITED HELP YOU?

We have over 22 years of experience in the industry as supplier, repairer and most of all maintainer. Thus we can service and repair any type of manufacture of door identifying problems and solving them efficiently and economically.

As with any mechanical item, routine maintenance ensures that it is kept in good working order and identifies key faults and solves them before they become a major problem. This in turn can save your business additional costs in having to replace major parts or even a complete door.

Helping to prevent accidents, damage and loss of resources that usually occur as a result of this type of event. Preventing potential downtime. Basically, if the doors are not working and are an important access, delivery or loading area then you are likely to incur loss of revenue, inefficiency and be operating reactively to a situation that could have been avoided.

We can safely identify when a product should be replaced for safety reasons.

This could have cashflow and capital expenditure planning implications. It would allow for better budget plans as you can identify a fixed cost for planned maintenance rather than the variable costs of reactive repairs.

Under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulation 1992, the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulation 1998 and the Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations 1997 employers are bound to safeguard the health and safety of their employees and visitors to their sites. In essence, this means that doors should be subject to a regular maintenance regime that is recorded and preferably carried out by competent or approved operators to suppliers standards.

Site engineers are fully trained and equipped to current legislative requirements, industry standards and work within recognised codes of practices.

As a member of the DHF we are not only working to standards but also help to improve and set them for the future. You are not working with a company who uses sub-contractors with no real knowledge of customer needs. We will be here to help you in the future.

Our documentation and records will assist you in your commitments to legislation.

Each door supplied, repaired or maintained will have its own service wallet which contains: maintenance report card, wiring diagrams (where applicable). Thus meeting the need for monitored maintenance records.


WHY DO YOU NEED A MAINTENANCE CONTRACT?

Regulation 5 of the Workplace (Health and Safety 7 Welfare) Regulations 1992

"...the equipment devices and systems to which this regulation applies shall be subject to a suitable system of maintenance".

This requires regular maintenance (to suppliers/manufacturers recommendations) is carried out at regular intervals, potentially dangerous defects are to be remedied and that suitable records are kept.

Regulation 6 of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998

"...every employer should ensure that work equipment is maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair".

"...every employer should ensure that where any machinery has a maintenance log, the log is kept up to date".

This not only restates the rules previously covered in the safety regulations but also lays stress on the need for the personnel carrying out the maintenance work to be adequately trained.

Regulation 6 of the Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations 1997

"...where necessary, in order to safeguard the safety of employees in the case of fire, the workplace and any equipment and devices provided shall be subject to a suitable system of maintenance and be maintined in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair".

This is self explanatory and is more specific because of the additional risk and danger allied to potential fire situations.

All these regulations are legally binding on the employer (not the supplier or maintainer) who has a duty to safeguard the health and safety of their employes and visitors to their site(s).


PENALTIES CAN INCLUDE PROHIBITION AND ENFORCEMENT NOTICES, LARGE FINES (UP TO £5000) AND IMPRISONMENT (UP TO 2 YEARS).
