Mitigating Hazards with Recommended Floor Marking:

How floor marking can protect employees from hazards?

Separate workers from machines and moving equipment:

Use floor marking to designate paths that protect pedestrians from forklifts, electrical panels, heavy machinery, and other hazards.

Warn of hazardous areas:

Keep employees safe on loading docks around dangerous equipment and around areas with exposed edges.

Provide instruction:

Let employees know where to stand (or where to avoid) when operating heavy machinery and other equipment.

Improve forklift safety:

Forklifts are fraught with hazards. Floor marking can establish pedestrian-only paths, keep employees away from imbalanced or unsafe loads, and establish traffic controls for drivers.

Keep employees safe in low-light conditions:

Phosphorescent floor marking and signage can help employees find exits and equipment in emergencies and other low-light situations.

Improving Organization with Recommended Floor Marking:

Floor marking isn’t just a great tool for mitigating hazards and improving safety; it can also improve organization and efficiency.

Establish traffic routes:

Establish aisles for pedestrians and vehicles and direct the flow of traffic; doing so can help employees get where they’re going in a safe, efficient manner.

Use floor marking in your 5S system:

The 5S system aims to improve efficiency, increase organization, and reduce waste-all of which can be facilitated through floor marking. Use symbols, text, and floor marking tape to complement your 5S system.

Designate storage areas:

Floor marking can cordon off areas meant for inventory, PPE, hazardous equipment, forklifts, and other items.
