CableSafe Safety Gate is TÜV Tested.

CableSafe – Safety Gates is in compliance with International Standardization Organization standard – ISO 14122-3:2001 [section: 3.2.5 self closing gate part of the guard-rail which is intended to be opened easily. When the gate is released, it will close automatically using e.g. the effect of gravity or a spring]

CAUTION: Old fashioned flip-over / drop-down gate mechanisms can become dropped objects. Self-closing gates such as the CableSafe Safety Gate eliminates this hazard and would be recommended where practicable.

Best Practice Recommendations Safety Gates / Swing Gates (Drops Handbook)

• Wherever possible, the hinges must form an integral part of the gate – i.e. they should be welded on
• Removable gate hinge pins must be fitted with secondary retention e.g. split pin
• Safety Gates must open / swing inwards to the platform or deck
• Safety Gates must be at the same strength as surrounding guard rails
• Safety Gates must be secured against becoming disengaged
• Safety Gates must be designed to automatically return to and remain in the closed position
• On floating rigs, the use of locking fingers should be considered so that the gate can be locked in the closed position
• Where possible, toe boards should be integrated in gates
• Swing gates must be inspected and maintained on a regular basis to ensure adequate function
• Where flip-over / drop-down gate rails are fitted, these must be secured with secondary retention e.g. split pin and where necessary secured with safety wire.
