Industrial Safety Barricades: A Modern Approach to Containment and Safety
At Singer Safety, our mission is to provide an effective, modern approach to workplace containment and safety. Our industrial safety barricades not only separate large areas into smaller work zones, but they also help prevent accidents and injury. In this article, we will discuss the different types of industrial safety barriers, how health and safety barriers reduce workplace accidents, and how to choose the best safety barricade for your workplace.
What are Industrial Safety Barriers?
Industrial safety barriers are physical devices meant to improve workplace safety by preventing accidents, containing hazardous dust and fumes, reducing noise, and controlling access to dangerous areas. These barriers can be installed in custom configurations to protect workers and equipment, even as conditions change. At Singer Safety, we offer many types of industrial safety barriers including industrial curtains, vinyl strip doors, and welding screens, each of which works in a unique way to improve safety.
How Health and Safety Barriers Reduce Workplace Accidents
Health and safety barriers reduce workplace accidents in three main ways: by creating a physical blockade between hazardous areas and personnel, by reducing noise, and by improving visibility.
Physical Barricade
One of the main ways health and safety barriers reduce workplace accidents is by creating a physical barrier between workers and dangerous conditions. For example, Singer Safety’s welding screens create a wall between the people working inside the enclosure and those outside the screen, preventing welding sparks from injuring those outside the barrier. Additionally, industrial barricades can be used to contain dustborne contaminants that can cause respiratory issues.
Noise Reduction
Loud noises from equipment or machinery can cause hearing loss in workers over time. According to the CDC, hearing loss is one of the most common work-related illnesses. Industrial barriers improve safety by containing noise, which improves worker concentration, reduces hearing loss, and prevents miscommunication between workers.
Improved Visibility
Singer Safety offers barricades such as our plastic strip doors in clear vinyl. These see-through curtains not only help segment off different work areas, but also prevent accidents by improving visibility on both sides of the curtain.
Types of Safety Barriers in the Workplace
Singer Safety offers several different types of safety barriers for use in the workplace. Our industrial safety barriers come in standard and custom sizes to suit any space. We do not charge an additional fee for custom designs.
Industrial Curtains
Singer Safety’s industrial curtains allow you to divide your warehouse, auto shop, or other large industrial space into smaller work areas. At Singer Safety, we offer many types of curtain room dividers to improve workplace efficiency, contain dust and fumes, and increase security.
Vinyl Strip Doors
Singer Safety’s strip doors can be used to create safety barriers in industrial facilities, food processing plants, warehouses, and more. They work by stopping noise, airborne hazards, and dust from moving from one side of the barrier to the other. Our strip curtains can be mounted on existing door frames or installed on overhead tracks, and they come in a range of sizes. We also offer strip door mounting hardware for easy installation.
Welding and Safety Screens
Welding can cause both short and long term health effects in workers. Our welding screens are a flexible option to contain welding hazards like sparks and UV rays. They work by enclosing welding work into a specific zone, protecting those outside the enclosure who may not be wearing proper safety gear. Singer Safety’s welding screens are manufactured with high-quality materials that can withstand extreme temperatures and keep everyone in the vicinity safe.
Automotive Safety Curtains
Singer Safety offers enclosed, see-through automotive safety curtains that can be pulled into place when needed and tucked away when not in use. Our curtains can be installed in auto paint shops to confine primer and overspray residue while keeping dust, water spray, grinding, and cutting sparks out of the painting area. The safety curtains also improve efficiency in spot-painting, base coating, and final clean-up operations by keeping detailing and prep areas clean.

Choosing the Right Industrial Safety Barricades
Singer Safety offers a range of industrial curtains to fit many needs, including roller partition systems, industrial welding curtains, privacy partition enclosures, and more. When choosing an industrial divider for your workspace, it’s best to first determine how you will mainly be using the barriers. For example, do you need industrial curtains to reduce noise? Or are you looking for a way to control temperature and keep out dust? Additionally, you will want to consider the size of the space that is being altered and the dimensions you will require for the dividers. This will ensure you’re choosing industrial room dividers that fit your exact needs.
