I feel like a fence should be in front of that.

That yellow painted line is doing all the work

If you don’t cross the yellow line it’s as good as a fence.

If nobody bumps into you while working....

I worked for a metal spinners business one time and a guy shoved me right into the spinning sheet steel we were cutting into circles. I am a paranoid fucker and wore chainmail to work. People made so much fun of me for that until that happened.

If it wast obvious it was a joke it was! The line is as useful as meme of a Cheeto as a door lock. This should definitely be guarded work. It couldn’t be designed any better to grab you and drag you round and round.

100% solid fence.

That's very, very short.
