What is required around pedestrian areas?

In construction and site management, pedestrian areas must be well-defined and secured to ensure the safety of individuals moving through or near construction zones. A physical barrier is an effective way to create a clear separation between pedestrian areas and potentially hazardous construction activities. This barrier can take various forms, such as concrete barricades, safety railings, or other robust materials that can withstand accidental contact.

The purpose of these physical barriers is to prevent unauthorized access to dangerous areas, protect pedestrians from construction equipment or materials, and guide them safely through the site. They help in minimizing accidents and injuries by clearly delineating safe pathways. While other options like decorative fences, safety signs, and warning lights may play supportive roles in improving safety or aesthetics, they do not provide the same level of protection and physical separation that a physical barrier offers.
