Photos - Movable Wall in school with high panels shown closed and partially open.
Movable walls can comprise of very high and/or heavy panels which contain many internal moving parts. In addition they are carried by rollers which in turn travel along aluminium or steel tracks. As such, apart from the periodic maintenance which should be carried out, there is the Health & Safety aspect of the wall which is required to be addressed. There is a requirement that movable wall systems must be serviced annually in order to conform with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and Management at Work Regulations of 1999. Certain regulations within the Acts require by law that the systems are regularly maintained. This includes inspection, testing, adjusting, lubricating parts where applicable and to carry out minor repairs of any defects. Additionally, suitable records e.g. log books, are required to be maintained to show that the system is being properly and regularly maintained and to show when such maintenance was carried out.
