Since the proper safety inspection (UVV) of gates, fire doors, windows, and doors requires specialized expertise, this inspection may only be carried out by a qualified person. According to Section 2, Paragraph 6 of the German Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health (Betriebssicherheitsverordnung), a person is considered qualified if they "possess the necessary knowledge for the inspection of work equipment through their vocational training, professional experience, and current professional activity."
As experts in occupational health and safety, the LTS Academy is your nationwide specialist partner for training as a qualified person for power-operated gates and doors. Furthermore, you can also train with us to become a competent person for countless other work equipment, e.g., as a qualified person for the inspection of hydraulics , mobile elevating work platforms , or work and safety scaffolding .

Regular safety inspections (UVV) of all power-operated gates, doors, windows, and fire doors in a company are not only essential for the safety of employees and visitors, but are also legally required.

Here, we will provide you with the theoretical knowledge and practical know-how to professionally inspect all power-operated doors, gates, and similar items used in your company in accordance with DGUV regulations.

Why is the UVV inspection of power-operated gates and doors necessary?
In accordance with the German Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health (BetrSichV) and the German Occupational Safety and Health Act (ArbSchG), management and the board of directors are responsible for the safety of their employees and all visitors on their premises. Accordingly, they must also ensure that only safe doors, gates, and windows are in use to prevent accidents caused by improper opening and closing. To be classified as safe, regular inspections by qualified personnel, specifically a competent person according to TRBS 1203, are necessary – and legally mandatory. The inspection requirement for power-operated gates, doors, windows, and especially fire doors, arises specifically from Section 3 Paragraph 3 of the BetrSichV, the accident prevention regulations (UVV), and the Technical Rules for Workplaces ASR A1.7 Doors and Gates and ASR A1.6 Windows, Skylights, Translucent Walls.
Power-operated means that the energy required to open and close the leaves is supplied entirely or at least partially by power-driven mechanisms. Examples of such gates and doors include:
Sectional doors
Roller doors
Swing gates
Sliding gates and doors
Folding gates and doors
Swing gates and doors.
