With the right measures, you can tackle these reliably and with minimal effort.

Clear requirements, practical solutions

Operators and boards of preschools and schools are legally obliged to recognize and eliminate hazards in their facilities. The BFU (Swiss Council for Accident Prevention) recommendations for finger protection and the European standard EN 16005 for automatic doors provide specific guidance. Many facilities do not fully meet these requirements.
