Should pedestrian safety gates swing inwards or outwards?

Should pedestrian safety gates swing inwards or outwards?

We often get asked this question, here is our answer...

Safety gates should always open away from the hazard.

Why?

This causes the pedestrian to have to step backwards first to open the gate, rather than just walking straight through the gate and into the path of a potential hazard.
