Expandable Barriers

What are expandable barriers used for? 

Expandable barriers are used as a temporary solution to restrict access in various environments. They are used in a variety of commercial settings including in shops, businesses, warehouses, offices, construction sites and at events. Barriers may be used in shops to mark off hazardous areas, for example, if a spillage occurs. In offices barriers are often put when cleaning is being undertaken to prevent workers from walking on wet floors or to highlight that cleaning is being undertaken. During events expanding barriers are often used to restrict pedestrian access to certain areas for security and safety. The portable barriers are also often used at construction sites when work is being undertaken to highlight risks and restrict access. At warehouses, expandable barriers are often put up when loading and unloading is occurring or where machinery is in use.
