Shopping centre operators and owners have an obligation to adequately manage risks relating to the safety of pedestrian movement through their centres and retail precincts. The Australian Trellis Door Company (ATDC) has been operating for more than 35 years with national representation to cover security requirements throughout Australia with qualified project managers to manage your requirements through all stages of your project.
ATDC is a leading supplier of overhead door systems including folding closures, commercial roller shutters, trellis retractable doors and trackless portable barriers to the retail, hospitality and commercial market sectors.
The premium range of quality security doors and shutters are ideal for securing shopping centres and arcades, retail shopfronts, restaurants, reception counters, offices, showrooms, hotels, banks, hospitals, warehouses and government and public buildings.
ATDC supplies its overhead door systems to many Australian shopping centres and leading national retail chains and has the resources and expertise to efficiently handle national store rollouts with tight deadlines no matter the location.
Supply chain delays following the COVID pandemic have resulted in a substantial increase in popularity across the country for ATDC’s readily accessible S04-1 trackless portable barriers. These lockable, steel barriers are available ex-stock on demand and can be purchased outright or they can also be hired/rented out as a short term or medium term lock up solution.
The rental service provided by ATDC is unique in Australia and the process is both streamlined and efficient with minimal administrative paperwork. ATDC will also deliver and collect the barriers to/from your premises at the commencement and termination of the rental period.
Available in heights of 2m or 2.5m and with an unlimited span, this versatile low-cost barrier system allows retailers and others the flexibility and speed to secure immediate lock up of their premises in circumstances where their existing door systems may have broken down and where the retailer is experiencing delays from other suppliers in getting repairs or more permanent replacements. In this way the retailer will avoid all those unnecessary costs in engaging manned security guards to protect their storefronts whilst they wait weeks or even months in some cases for a permanent lock up solution.
The S04-1 mobile barrier is completely trackless, which means it is a go-anywhere, multi-purpose system. The retractable fencing system is also great for securing after-hours or restricted access to areas in shopping centres, kiosks, pop-up shops, mall walkways, shop fronts, temporary tenancies, loading docks, entertainment venues and other high-traffic areas and OH&S work safe areas. It is both an effective crowd control device and an efficient loss prevention tool at the same time. And it is extremely economical in cost.
The S04-1 barrier systems are unique in that they are OH+S compliance tested for safe operation for both your employees and your customers. Our results have been independently NATA tested and certified to comply with relevant impact and climbing tests in certain circumstances.
ATDC has completed a thorough WHS risk assessment of the crowd control barrier products it manufactures and supplies for use in shopping centres. This has been fully documented and independently audited by OH+S risk assessment specialists. This assists ATDC in identifying safety hazards relating to the supply and use of such barriers. It also gives shopping centre owners peace of mind that the barriers they use comply with relevant OHS legislation, and also that they are utilising such barriers in accordance with safety standards.
ATDC have been proactive in ensuring that its products comply with necessary and relevant standards (in certain circumstances). Impact and climbing tests have also been performed and passed.
Crucial questions to ask yourself:
- Do your barriers comply with WHS legislation?
- Have the suppliers of your barriers implemented adequate hazard control measures to comply with relevant safety legislation?
- Is your supplier able to provide adequate and documented testing of the performance of the barriers you are using?
- Are your barriers designed to minimise health and safety risks when being used?
- Have you been given adequate instructions for the safe use of the barriers you are using?
ATDC are committed to supplying quality security door and shutter products at competitive prices, while providing innovative ideas and solutions and uncompromising service. All products carry a 12-month warranty against any defective materials and workmanship that might arise.
