What is the standard height of a safety fence?

The standard height of a safety fence is typically 6 to 8 feet (1.8 to 2.4 meters), depending on the application and safety regulations.

  • OSHA Standards: Often require a minimum of 7 feet (2.1 meters) for machine guarding or perimeter fences to effectively prevent access to hazardous areas.
  • ISO and ANSI Guidelines: May vary but generally align with similar height requirements to ensure worker protection.

The height ensures barriers are tall enough to restrict unauthorized access and protect workers from potential hazards.
