Barricading

Each type of barricading is designed for a different level of control, visibility and site setup.

• Barrier tape is used for quick, temporary hazard marking where you just need visual warning.
• Barrier mesh adds more visibility and structure, often used with posts to define work zones.
• General barriers are portable physical barriers used to block or guide access on-site.
• Crowd control barriers are stronger and designed to manage pedestrian movement in busy or public areas.
• Fence posts and accessories are used to support mesh or fencing systems and create more secure setups.
• Heavy duty barricading is built for high-risk environments where durability is crictical. 
• Road side barriers are designed for traffic management and protecting workers near vehicles.
• Temporary fencing is used to fully secure a site perimeter and restrict access over a larger area.

Yes, Site Ware Direct can supply barricading solutions for projects of all sizes, from small site setups to large-scale mining and construction operations.

Safe Work Australia requires that:

• Sites are secured against unauthorised access
• Hazards are clearly controlled and isolated
• The public and workers are protected from risk

Temporary fencing is commonly used to meet these obligations.

Temporary fencing in Australia is generally guided by AS 4687 and Safe Work Australia requirements. It must be stable, secure and suitable for the level of risk, ensuring sites are properly enclosed and access is controlled.

While AS 4687 is the main standard, different industries often have stricter rules:

• Construction sites may require full perimeter fencing
• Civil and infrastructure projects often require stabilised fencing systems
• Mining sites may have internal standards beyond AS 4687
