What is fencing around equipment?

Fencing around equipment refers to a protective barrier installed around machinery or hazardous areas to restrict access, protect workers, and ensure safety. It is commonly made of materials like wire mesh, steel, or polycarbonate panels and serves to:

  • Prevent Contact – Stops workers from reaching dangerous parts of equipment.
  • Contain Hazards – Keeps debris, sparks, or moving parts within the fenced area.
  • Restrict Access – Allows only authorized personnel to enter the area.
  • Ensure Compliance – Meets safety standards like OSHA and ISO.

This fencing creates a safer work environment by providing a physical boundary around equipment.
