safety barrier
Hazard prevention structure
A safety barrier is a physical structure designed to prevent people or vehicles from entering dangerous areas or falling from heights.
Guard rails along highways, fences around construction sites, and railings on balconies all serve as safety barriers.
The term extends to non-physical protections: The new regulations act as a safety barrier against financial fraud.
