Safety in the Construction Industry
Building sites, excavations, areas where machinery is in operation, and in general all dangerous areas of a construction site must be fenced in at all times. This is particularly important where there is a danger for vehicles or people passing by or for the site personnel. Incidents occurring due to unsufficient delimiting or not visible fencing of construction areas can lead to injuries and loss of lives. The responsibility of correct prevention is a primary responsibility of a building site manager and in general the construction company management, and they are liable for the legal consequences and costs in case of incidents.
Safety Fencing made with Plastics
Safety fencing can be implemented with different types of barriers, railings and other types of fencing. Plastic is the material of choice as it can be used to build basic fencing which is lightweight, unexpensive, and resistant to harsh athmospheric conditons. In addition to that plastic can be easily colored and fencing can be made visible under all critical visibility conditions, including night darkness, rain, fog, snow, growth of vegetation.
The most cost effective technique for safety fencing is the use of special orange/red colored signals or textiles which can be can be setup as:
· temporary and low-cost standalone fencing solution, quickly installed with any basic support (like wood pliers or metal)
· band used to increase visibility of existing fencing (for example metallic fences, whenthese are unstalled)
How to choose your Plastic Fencing Netting:
· highly-visible orange/red/yellow colors for better highlighting dangerous areas in all conditions
· resistant to low temperatures and to sun UV rays
· light and manageable, supplied in rolls - easily transported, stored and re-used
· fully recycleable at the end of its lifecycle
