What are Hazard Tape?

Made from durable, non-adhesive PVC film, this tape is resistant to wear and tear, ensuring longevity and reliability in high-traffic areas. Its primary function is to restrict hazardous areas, ensuring that individuals are aware of potential risks and can take necessary precautions.

How Hazard Tape Works.

Hazard tape is versatile and can be used in various workplace scenarios to enhance safety. For instance, on job sites, black and yellow hazard floor tape is commonly used to temporarily mark off areas where heavy machinery operates, preventing unauthorised access and reducing the risk of accidents.

In warehouses, hazard floor marking tape helps delineate walkways and restricted zones, ensuring that employees navigate the space safely. The non-adhesive nature of the PVC film makes it easy to deploy and remove as needed, without leaving residue. When installed, hazard safety tape provides a clear visual cue that warns of potential dangers, effectively communicating safety messages and preventing accidents.
