I AgreeHazard Tape Overview: Hazard tape is a non-adhesive, radiantly-colored tape that is intended to catch attention of people so as to minimize the risk of severe injuries and keep people safe. Caution or hazard tape is a type of barricade tape that is meant to promote safety and restrict entry into harmful places such as laboratories or explosive areas. Different color shades are used to communicate different kinds of warnings such as radiation exposure or physical hazard. Yellow and black hazard tape is used to warn about the danger of construction or production (industrial) sites, while magenta or purple and yellow hazard tape is used for laboratories or radiation exposure areas.
OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and ANSI (American National Standards Institute) Specifications are Maintaining Uniformity in the Design of Hazard Tapes
According to OSHA, 4,674 workers were killed on job in the private industry in 2017, of which, around 20% were from the construction field, which is, one in five worker deaths in construction. The leading cause of private sector worker deaths in the building and construction industry was falls, followed by electrocution, object force, and caught-in/between. Hazard tapes or caution tapes help prevent accidents like these at production or construction sites by promoting caution.
Key manufacturers of hazard tape are following specifications and standards laid down by health and safety regulation authorities, owing to which, design parameters are uniform among manufacturers. Key differentiating factors to sustain oneself in the competition are the use of high-quality material and the cost of hazard tape offered to the end users. Apart from these factors, end users are moving toward the use of customized hazard tape, such as those that specify the activity going on and the name of the company. Biodegradable hazard tape is anticipated to grow in demand, due to end users’ choice for environment-friendly and non-toxic tape options. Manufacturers are focusing on the development of hazard tape that can be sustained in the worst environment, and can also be reused maximum times.
