How tall is a machine guarding fence?

A machine guarding fence is typically 6 to 8 feet tall to prevent unauthorized access and ensure worker safety. For compliance with safety standards like OSHA and ISO, the height can vary based on:

  • Hazard Location – Higher fences for areas with greater risks.
  • Specific Regulations – OSHA often requires a minimum of 7 feet for effective protection.

The exact height depends on the machinery and workplace requirements.
