Regulations of Crowd Control Barriers in Australia?

The benefits of Crowd Control Barriers
- Safety – Crowd control barriers help prevent accidents and injuries by separating crowds and hazardous areas
- Security – They can be used to restrict access to unauthorised areas and improve overall security at events or worksites.
- Versatility: The lightweight barriers are designed with a simple interlocking system, making them easy to install to any desired length.
Three things to consider when installing Pedestrian Crowd Barriers
- Create a site plan to determine how many barriers that you need. Sketch a layout considering crowd flow, access points, and designated areas. Ensure there are enough exits for emergencies. Tip: the Site HQ crowd control barriers are 2.2m long.
- Our crowd barriers feature an interlocking system for easy assembly.
- On uneven terrain or windy conditions, use additional weights or feet to ensure stability. Ensure there are no trip hazards caused by uneven placement. If you have any concerns, please reach out to the Site HQ team, we’ll be happy to advise.
