Safety Barrior Fencing

There Are Various Types Of Safety Barrior Fencing But As A Whole There Are Two Basic Types Depending On Function.

Safety Barrior Fence Categories

Safety barrior fencing can be categorized into two basic functions. The first category is to mark hazards and dangerous areas such as holes, trenches and even overhead falling objects. This type of fence is mainly used to protect and alert workers from hazards during an on-going construction. The second category can be considered as a security barrior which serves to keep unauthorized personnel from entering restricted areas. This type of fence offers protection and safety as well when the restricted area presents a hazard or possible injury to unsuspecting or inexperienced personnel. There are standards for both types of safety fencing, these standards are established and maintained by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. It is also important to note that county regulations governing Safety Barrior Fencing may need to be followed as well.
