is proposing updating safety codes for large gates installed on public and private property, the county said Friday.
The update is in response to the death of a 7-year-old boy last December in Greenbrae after a fence at his school fell over and crushed him, the county said. The gate was 30 feet long and weighed over 400 pounds. "The cost of safeguard devices capable of preventing gates from unexpectedly falling over during routine and normal operation is modest," said Kelley, "especially when compared to the magnitude of potential damage and/or injury that could result in the absence of such safeguard devices."
