Excavation safety barriers, as the name suggests, are designed to protect excavation sites, primarily serving as a safety measure. They prevent people, animals, or objects from falling into the excavation, thereby avoiding harm to oneself or third parties. Also known as: edge barriers, edge protection nets, construction excavation safety nets, and excavation isolation fences, etc.

Excavation pit guardrails, known to most industry personnel, are sometimes explained to customers who are less familiar with them as protective structures installed alongside construction pits. These consist of upright posts connected to form a barrier approximately 1.2 meters high and 2 meters long, marked with warning signs and painted in warning colors of yellow and black or red and white. Excavation pit guardrails are typically sold in sets, each set including one post and one mesh panel.
