HELP IS HERE!
We all realise that an automatic door can help with access issues, but just how many additional benefits they can bring to a whole host of individuals is huge. They do not only serve as a great access solution for the disabled population group but also for people in wheelchairs, the elderly and of course people using mobility aides or on crutches. We all have had experience of trying to wrestle with a conventional heavy door, perhaps while carrying all our shopping, or indeed pushing our infants in prams. Where the old style manual doors still exist in medical centres and shops it is very difficult to manoeuvre through them safely whilst pushing friends and family members around. If you put yourself in the position of a disabled, old or injured person you will begin to understand just how difficult accessing a traditional door can be whilst on crutches or in a wheel chair or mobility scooter. The old style doors can make for challenging and frustrating situations that do not need to happen with the installation of a brand new automatic door at public buildings throughout the British Iles.
GREAT FOR HOSPITALS!
Hospitals are probably one of the buildings that get the most benefits from
automatic doors throughout the whole hospital. Areas can be secured with automatic doors by ensuring that the doors are shut at all times, this is of course very important in labourites and high dependency units. It is imperative that in any health care premises hygiene levels are in place and adhered to. Automatic doors assist in achieving these high levels of hygiene by avoiding the spread of bacteria and germs, while reducing the risk of cross-contamination since people do not need to handle the doors at all. Suffice to say automatic doors can be seen in A&E departments and operating theatres. Baby care units and a whole host of other locations within the hospital will be isolated from the general public entering without consent. In certain areas like ICU or patient long stay wards and of course children’s wards card swipes may be issued to parents and families frequenting the wards or areas prohibited with automatic doors. Medical teams are generally gain access through the means of a swipe card or personalised key fob dependent on individual access demands. Hospital porters and catering teams will benefit from the automatic doors as they push beds wheel chairs and food and hot beverages around.
KEEPING YOU WARM, KEEPING YOU SAFE
Another advantage of an automatic door is that it keeps the temperature inside the hospital at a constant temperature. This is all important as individuals suffering from ill health need to be kept both warm and comfortable. There is in addition safety features of automatic doors being present in hospitals, accidents internally are reduced as there is no chance of little children getting their fingers trapped inside or elderly frail individuals toppling over due to a heavy manual door banging into them. In cases of fire or an unexpected emergency an automatic doors deliver a swift and easy exit for employees, patients, and visitors alike. As the automatic door is made predominantly from toughened glass patients and medical teams are able to see clearly outside and therefore react to any strange activity or unforeseen circumstances.
FALLING COSTS!
It is a headache for any business to keep within set budgets and the health service is hit with increasingly hard financial restraints. Utility costs are amongst the highest in hospitals and every effort by finance and utility management will be made to make reductions where at all possible. Heat is a very precious and expensive commodity and in hospitals heating costs are incredibly high. As the doors close automatically behind an individual, heat is not permitted to escape free as is the case when manual doors are left open or do not close properly. As an automatic door is easy to keep clean additional savings can be made in ancillary man hours. There is of course no need for extra hospital porters to be on hand at the entrance ways as the automatic door will open up for emergencies and not need to be held open.
