IMPORTANCE OF CONSTRUCTION BARRICADES

Construction barricades serve several crucial functions on a construction site:

  1. Safety of Workers and Public: Construction barricades protect both workers and the public from potential hazards associated with construction.
  2. Traffic Control: They help in managing traffic around construction sites, ensuring smooth flow and minimizing accidents.
  3. Site Security: Barricades help enhance construction security, and prevent unauthorized access to the construction site.
