Occupational Environment Monitoring at the Rolling Door Manufacturing Plant

1. Overview of Rolling Door Manufacturing Factories

a. What is a rolling door manufacturing factory?

Manufacturing factories for rolling doors are facilities specialized in producing and processing rolling doors, also known as automatic rolling doors. A rolling door is a type of door that can automatically open and close by rolling up or down, commonly used in residential and commercial structures such as shops, warehouses, factories, parking lots, and garages.

b. Production stages in rolling door manufacturing factories

Rolling door manufacturing factories usually have multi-step production and processing procedures, including the main stages as follows:

• Design and material cutting: This stage involves designing the rolling door based on customer requirements and cutting materials such as steel sheets or aluminum alloys in preparation for processing.
• Processing and welding: Steel sheets or aluminum alloys are processed and welded into door frames, including vertical bars, horizontal bars, and other mechanical components.
• Painting and finishing: The door frames and other components are coated to protect against corrosion and create an aesthetic finish. Painting may include powder coating or anti-rust painting.
• Assembly and inspection: Door frames and components are assembled into complete rolling doors, including mechanical parts, motors, and control systems. Then, the rolling doors are quality-checked to ensure compliance with customer standards and requirements.
• Packing and transportation: After completion, rolling doors are packed and prepared for shipment to the customer’s location.

• High-speed doors: Open and close quickly, reducing waiting time and improving efficiency in high-traffic environments.
• Fire-resistant rolling doors: Designed to resist fire and prevent fire spread in case of emergencies.

2. Overview of occupational environment monitoring services

a. What is occupational environment monitoring in rolling door factories?

Occupational environment monitoring (or workplace environmental measurement) in rolling door factories involves collecting, evaluating, and analyzing metrics of workplace environmental factors in order to implement timely interventions, reduce environmental hazards to workers’ health, and prevent occupational diseases. Occupational environment monitoring is a mandatory requirement for rolling door factories.

It plays a critical role in protecting and enhancing workers’ health, as employees are the main resource generating profit for the business. Continuous exposure to hazardous factors exceeding allowed limits can negatively impact workers’ health and cause occupational diseases.
