Awareness Barriers

An awareness barrier serves only to remind a person that a danger area is being approached, it does not provide physical protection. Generally, awareness barriers are not considered adequate when continual exposure to the hazard exists. Shown here is a rope used as an awareness barrier on the rear of a power squaring shear. Although the barrier does not physically prevent a person from entering the danger area, it calls attention to it.
