Traffic Barriers – An Effective Way to Avoid Severe Accidents on Construction Sites
Strategic use of traffic barriers is one of the most effective ways to minimise the risk of hazards at construction sites. These barriers make it easy for on-site personnel to demarcate the potentially hazardous areas and ensure people have immediate and ongoing clarity on where, how and when to move while construction work is going on.
Purpose and Benefits of Traffic Barriers on a Construction Site
There are four primary objectives to consider in the placement of traffic barriers on construction sites:
- Enhanced Safety
- Clear Demarcation of Potentially Dangerous Areas on the Site
- Minimising Liability
- Compliance with Government Requirements
