How to Meet OSHA Safety Standards with Wire Mesh Partitions
Meeting OSHA safety standards starts with having the right physical barriers; wire mesh partitions are a proven solution. These partitions help companies stay in compliance by providing secure, visible separation in areas that require restricted access or protection from equipment hazards.
Wire mesh safety cages create durable enclosures around machinery, storage areas, and sensitive inventory. They allow for airflow and visibility while clearly defining boundaries, a key component of workplace safety. For environments where machines are operating, wire partitions prevent unauthorized personnel from entering hazardous zones while keeping operations running smoothly.
At WireCrafters, our machine guarding systems are designed with OSHA compliance in mind. Built with welded wire mesh panels and a modular design, these guards surround dangerous equipment while allowing for easy access during maintenance through lockable hinged or sliding doors. The open mesh design lets you monitor operations without compromising safety.
Our driver access cages are another example of physical barriers supporting workplace safety. These wire mesh enclosures keep delivery drivers and non-employees out of active warehouse areas, limiting exposure to forklift traffic and automated machinery. These are two significant areas of concern under OSHA regulations.
For high-value tools, chemicals, or controlled substances, our secure storage cages and tool cribs offer a way to meet OSHA’s guidelines for restricted access and inventory control. Facilities can choose from ceiling panels, lock options, and custom layouts to fit their footprint and workflow while meeting compliance requirements.
In loading docks, aisleways, and other high-traffic areas, our RackBack® safety panels act as workplace safety barriers that help prevent items from falling off pallet racking, an often-overlooked hazard that can cause serious injury or damage.
OSHA compliance doesn’t require overcomplicating your workspace. It requires thoughtful solutions that reinforce safety protocols. Wire mesh partitions from WireCrafters offer that balance: substantial, visible barriers that protect people, secure assets, and support the safe operation of your facility.
