Technicians are people:
– that on the basis of their technical training, knowledge, experience and work, perform their as-
signed test properly and identify and evaluate potential hazards.

ulations, accident prevention regulations, directives and generally recognized technical regula-
tions, so they can judge the secure working condition of automatic door systems.
