What is a machine guarding fence?

A machine guarding fence is a protective barrier designed to prevent unauthorized or accidental access to hazardous areas around machinery. It serves to:

• Protect Workers – Blocks contact with moving parts, flying debris, or sparks.
• Ensure Compliance – Meets safety regulations like OSHA 29 CFR 1910.212.
• Contain Hazards – Prevents materials or broken parts from escaping the guarded area.
• Allow Visibility – Often made of mesh or polycarbonate for safe monitoring.
• Enhance Safety Systems – Can integrate with interlocked gates to stop machinery when accessed.

Machine guarding fences create a safe, organized, and compliant workspace in industrial environments.
