Safety
At Barriers International we have always put safety at the heart of our design development. Since our earliest days we have consulted widely with experts from many sports to ensure our racing fencing and barrier systems are safe, adaptable and fit for purpose.
We are an innovative and progressive company never compromising our ideals while leading the way forward in our search for a safer sports environment.
