Marking Tapes range includes anything from self-adhesive, electrical to barricade tapes. They have become a common application in a number of locations including industrial facilities, stores, offices, and residential areas. The reason for their application is to warn individuals of a potential or existing hazard within a location.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that workplace hazards be marked to alert employees to dangers that exist at a facility or worksite. Obtaining the right color and grade for marking is important. Some businesses actually choose alternative options that are expensive with reduced effectiveness to prevent accidents. If you are seeking a reliable, low cost way to be compliant and increase safety, then our adhesive marking tapes are a great choice.

Depending on the specific workplace situation, different regulations could apply. OSHA requirements are often non-specific with regard to size, color and wording of markings. To provide uniformity among organizations and industry, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has designed color schemes and sizes for marking hazards The coding labels and tape identify the type of hazard, which helps the employee identify the level of severity. It is meant to reduce the possibility of injuries.
