Different Types of Traffic Barriers That Are Essential for the Construction Industry

 Traffic management at and around  construction sites is a critical issue. Given the high risk of accidents in such environments, ensuring the health and safety of all personnel, as well as the general public is paramount. Heavy machinery, changed road conditions, hazards and reduced visibility can all impact the safe movement of pedestrians and vehicles. Safe and effective management with reliable equipment is essential for the protection of people and property. 

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
