Gate Safe has established a licensing agreement with industry professionals in Australia to address the growing need for the rollout of specialist automated gate and barrier training in Australia.
The organisation will trade under the name Gate Safe Australia, headquartered in Melbourne, and will have access to the Gate Safe training programme and associated technical guidance / marketing collateral. The business will operate as an independent organisation raising awareness of the correct protocols to ensure the safety of automated gates and barriers and delivering in person (and online) gate safety training.
Gate Safe has recorded numerous automated gate accidents in Australia and has been in discussion with colleagues down under for over two years prior to reaching the current agreement.
Richard Jackson OBE and founder of Gate Safe says, “Our primary objective has always been to put a stop to further accidents involving automated gates and whilst our focus is clearly the UK, if we have the tools and resources to help other countries address this issue, and put bluntly, save lives, we will of course offer our support. The UK has been working on this important safety concern for over 15 years and we are well placed to provide access to expert counsel and years of relevant experience in the sector. We will be working closely with the team running Gate Safe Australia to ensure the Gate Safe messaging and standard of training remains consistent with the UK programme.”
