Industrial & Medical Safety Barriers
Industrial & Medical Safety Barriers at BarrierHQ.com cover the three hazards that most often need a physical barrier between a work area and the people around it: ionizing radiation from X-ray and fluoroscopy equipment, direct and reflected laser energy, and the arc flash, UV, sparks and spatter produced by welding.

Welding screens
Welding screens with frame ship as a complete unit: tinted vinyl screen, frame and nylon ties. They come in 4 ft and 6 ft widths in red, yellow and dark green and ship by parcel carrier.
How to choose
- Start with the hazard: X-ray scatter, a specific laser wavelength, or welding arc and spatter.
- Match the protection rating to your requirement: lead equivalence (mm Pb) for radiation, wavelength coverage for laser acrylic.
- Size the barrier to the people you are protecting and to the room, including door widths and ceiling height.
- Your radiation safety officer or laser safety officer should confirm the requirements for your room.
