The Automatic Door Suppliers Association (ADSA) is launching a new Directors' Awareness Course to help business leaders understand their legal responsibilities within the powered pedestrian door industry.
Designed specifically for company directors and business owners – from sole traders to multinationals – the FREE course tackles a critical knowledge gap around compliance with standards and legislation, including the Machinery Directive.
It’s aimed at those in senior positions who might not otherwise attend technical training but still hold legal accountability for safety and performance in the field.
ADSA Managing Director Ken Price said:
“There was a disconnect – technicians were being enrolled on our two-day training course which brought them up to speed with the latest requirements but we found that their company directors were reluctant or didn’t have the time to attend the same courses.
“This led to a knowledge gap of the legal framework their teams were working within.
“This course closes that gap – not by teaching people how to run a business but by highlighting what their duty of care really looks like in this industry.”
Delivered online through the ADSA Academy, the interactive course includes video content featuring members of the ADSA team, knowledge checks and a final assessment.
It covers the legal landscape, relevant standards and regulations, building compliance, risk assessment and maintenance obligations.
The course is available to all ADSA members and goes live next month (June 2025), following internal testing by the ADSA executive team.
Registration is required to undertake the course to ensure proper allocation and monitoring of participation.
He added:
“This isn’t just CPD. It’s about raising the bar across the industry and making sure every director is speaking the same language as their technicians – legally, safely and competently.”
