TPA Magnetic Safety Barrier

About TPA Magnetic Safety Barriers & ‘Switch’ Kits

TPA’s Magnetic Railway Safety Barrier is a Network Rail Approved, temporary system that provides effective trackside delineation and protection when working near live railway lines.

Under local and European regulations it is in most cases legally required when working on track to protect workers with a physical barrier to prevent operatives coming too close to any track with trains operating on them. TPA’s magnetic barrier system provides effective protection for safe work on the track. Crucially, this barrier system is safer to work with than traditional rail mounted temporary barrier systems as the method installation doesn’t disturb the railway ballast and avoids the potential release of hazardous dust (Silica) or airborne pathogens such as Leptospirosis (Weils Disease).
