    Blueman – it sounds to me like a preferred contractor of your Strata Manager successfully touting for work, as the only relevant Australian Standard that I’m aware of is AS/NZS 4505:2012, and I think that relates more generally to design, construction, and installation on commercial/industrial sites than it does to safety specifically.

    There are of course safety issues on all site-types that relate to impacts with objects (such as vehicles) and with manual override that are covered by auto-reversing, proximity sensors, and back-up power but so far as I’m aware those requirements would be addressed in Council guidelines, and where applicable by consents.

    Try contacting your local Council for any current guideline requirements that they may have (carefully though so as not to invite site inspections), and more generally Standards Australia

    I assume that the contractor’s been paid? Mores the pity, as I’d be putting a motion to the next E/C Meeting to consider holding the Strata Manager responsible for that; if only to put the proverbial wind up him!
