What are the requirements for finger protection?

  • There isn’t currently a specific nationwide law mandating finger guards on all school doors, however they are strongly recommended and often required by local regulations, health and safety guidelines, and insurance policies in schools and nurseries.

  • In many European countries, finger protection on doors IS legally mandated, especially in specific settings like childcare facilities and areas frequented by young children.

What Finger Protection can prevent

  • Horrific accidents can happen many ways, little hands or even adults have stories of severed or crushed, broken bones, covering the hinge side of a door reduces these tales. Parents can rest assured that their children are in a well designed space that considers all the possible ways a child can be injured.

  • If a person is injured within a commercial space, lawyers seek to find the business at fault of negligence and will find ways to establish that safety precautions were not in place. Recommending finger guards on projects is just a wise move.
