Garage Door Installation Information:
The Garage Door Installation Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is a comprehensive 13 page procedure. This SWMS covers general aspects of garage door installation. Ensure the manufacturer’s installation manual/guide is available for specific information on all installation works.
The Garage Door Installation procedure is ready to use and is not a blank template. Simply add your company details, ABN, and include any site specific details or risks and make it specific to the task at hand. It is then ready for printing and to be incorporated as part of your overall OHS System.
The Garage Door Installation Work Method Statement can be used as part of your OHS inductions, for Tool box talks or tender applications.
Operation
Park in suitable area – clear of overhead power lines, close to work site – avoid crossing over roads. Do not carry materials vertically where they may contact power lines.
Ensure sufficient persons for task. (Pass items to installer so they do not have to ascend/descend ladder/ scaffold).
Follow manufacturer's installation guide for type of door. Example:
- Measure opening and clearance
- Carefully release tension from old springs then remove hardware (if replacing door)
- Remove old door in sections
- Unpack new door. Use caution when cutting packaging - cut away from body
- Lay out tracks/components
- Install as required – test that all parts are level
- Keep all locks in "open" position to make inoperable
- Install electrical components – ensure work is undertaken by licensed electrician as required
- Test door only when all components are in place, levels have been checked and the door is properly adjusted.
- Do not operate unguarded components when in close proximity (example: unguarded chain drive on grill operator). Test from ground level with remote.
- Remove all persons from door proximity when testing
