A segregator barrier (2) comprising a barrier portion attached to one or more suction plates (4), wherein the or each suction plate (4) is operable to adhere to a surface by means of a vacuum created between the surface and the suction plate (4), wherein in use the vacuum is provided by a vacuum source. One or more one-way flow valves may be provided between the vacuum source and the suction plate (4) or at least one of the suction plates (4). Furthermore, one or more vacuum reservoirs may be provided between the vacuum source and the suction plate (4) or at least one of the suction plates (4). The barrier (2) may also be adapted to mitigate the effect of a shock load applied to the barrier.
