The Children’s Charter Code of Practice defines all the issues that need to be considered when assessing establishments for door finger entrapment and fire door integrity. This is contributing hugely towards eradicating the misery of disabling injuries presented by closing doors.

Unsuitable safety measures leave people at risk of injury and worse still, if fire doors are allowed to become impeded by incorrectly fitted or unsuitable shields, a door’s fire rating integrity could be compromised through the use of perforating fixings.

Children learn through play, therefore installing a shield that cannot fully protect their fingers from these significantly common causes of serious injury is unreasonable.

There are several products on the market which claim to stop finger entrapment but actually don’t. Many can be inadvertently imploded which defeats the object of fitting a product in the first place. The Children’s Charter Code of Practice draws attention to the fact that products when fitted need to be fit for purpose.
