Door Gap Safety !
Door gaps, especially around hinges, can pose significant safety risks. Here are some key points to consider:
- Hinge Cavity (HC): This is the most hazardous zone.
The large exposed cavity combined with the pressure exerted by the door closing can cause severe injuries, such as finger trapping. - Hinge Pin Side (HP): Although the gap is smaller, it still poses a risk, especially if it is easily accessible.
- Handle Side (HS): Accidents can occur here when the door closes too fast or slams shut due to a draft.
- Sliding Panel (SP): The area where a sliding door edge meets the frame is also a hazard.
To mitigate these risks, consider installing finger entrapment guards and door closures to control how fast a door closes.
Additionally, designing and highlighting a door safety zone with hazard paint can help prevent accidents.
