Finger Protector in Schools and Nurseries

Health and Safety requires schools to assess the risk of finger traps and if the risk is significant to take appropriate action such as installing finger protector devices. Increasingly, the issue is being targeted by local authority Health and Safety inspectors who consider it to be ‘good practice’, if not essential in some environments.

Head teachers and nursery proprietors/managers need to ensure that finger protectors are fitted to high risk doors such as entrances, classrooms and toilet doors used by nursery or Key Stage 1 and 2 pupils. Secondary schools and post 16 establishments also need to assess the risks in areas where young children may be present (e.g. reception areas).

DoorTECH can advise on which doors need particular attention due to varying factors such as pupil flow and door usage.
