Safety Tip | Line of Fire and Barricades

Barricades are temporary devices used when elimination of the hazard or “guarding” against it is not feasible, or not feasible at the time. Barricades can be effectively used to warn and prevent personnel entry into areas with hazardous spills or leaks, excavations, overhead lifts or work, and hazardous work areas. Some barricades are as follows:

Sawhorses equipped with flashing lights are effective for barricading roadways. Flashing lights are a must for effective warning at night.

Barricade tape is effective for preventing personnel access into an area. Use of barrier tape at night may not be effective unless used in a well-lit area or in combination with sawhorses equipped with flashing lights. YELLOW for “caution,” RED for “do not enter,” and YELLOW AND MAGENTA” for “radiation hazard.”

Asbestos, benzene, or lead-restricted areas must be signed and barricaded with tape warning of the hazard.

A few words on barricades for excavations: All excavations of any type will be barricaded to protect pedestrians and equipment/vehicles. All barricades will be set up prior to excavating and expanded as required to ensure worker Safety.

Excavations requiring wooden barricades are:

1. Any excavation scheduled to be open more than 36 hours; and/or

2. any excavation that cuts an accepted established sidewalk or aisle way. Wooden barricades will be constructed with a 2-in. by 4-in. top rail at 42 inches in height and a 1-in. by 4-in. mid-rail at 21 inches in height. Uprights constructed of 2-in. by 4-in. will be no farther than 8 feet apart.

Excavations requiring sawhorse-type barricades with flashing lights are any excavations cutting an accepted established roadway or temporary roadway where vehicles may travel. All other excavations may be barricaded with yellow barrier tape.
