Fencing Rentals

Legal Requirements

Many federal and/or state laws require building contractors to protect the public from the hazards associated with building and construction sites. These laws often expressly require the use of temporary fencing. In the US, occupational safety and health laws are policed by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

Temporary fencing is often required to meet safety standards set by Government authorities and meet strict engineering requirements such as wind force resistance.

Legal compliance

Depending on occupational safety requirements in any given country or region, the quality of temporary fencing used on building and construction sites can be examined by government inspectors.

Builders can be prosecuted for not protecting the general public from construction site hazards and/or can be issued on the spot fines for a non compliant temporary fencing system.
