No job is completely safe, and we have to do the best we can to highlight all potential areas of risk. For some people, it is eye strain from long hours looking at computer screens. For others, those risks are more involved and can even be fatal.
The best approach to mitigating workplace hazards is acknowledging they exist and ensuring everyone else recognises the dangers in their environment. What better way to do this than with hazard warning tape? The chevrons imprinted on the pattern contrast heavily with the background colour, meaning that even individuals with visual impairments can identify the meaning of this vital visual hazard signage.
Glow in the Dark Hazard Tape: Safety That Shines
Take your classic hazard marking tape, but make it glow in the dark, and you have a force to be reckoned with. For example, in an emergency lights-out situation in a warehouse, your standard tape is invisible. This photoluminescent hazard tape, however, remains visible.
Although caution is necessary during such emergencies, workers can still identify dangerous zones and take the right steps to avoid injury thanks to the enhanced visibility of glow tape for low light conditions.
Domestic Applications: Nighttime Navigation Without the Lights
This phosphorescent safety tape has uses beyond industrial applications. It also suits domestic settings. One practical use is applying it to stairs in the home, enabling nighttime navigation without switching on the lights.
It’s a simple, energy-saving solution that reduces electricity use while enhancing home safety in low light environments.
Commercial Uses: A Better Fit for Dimly Lit Venues
Commercial spaces benefit just as much from glow in the dark floor marking tape. In venues like restaurants and clubs, this tape outperforms plain glow tape due to its bright chevron pattern.
Whether it’s a steep step that guests need to notice or a clearly defined staff-only zone, photoluminescent hazard tape provides both visibility and safety in environments that often have low ambient lighting.
Creative Uses: From Exhibitions to Kids’ Crafts
Sometimes, tape can be used in ways you wouldn’t expect. We’ve seen it used in art exhibitions that test the boundaries of creative expression, including glow in the dark pieces. One church even used glow safety tape during a children’s craft event.
To date, no one has used phosphorescent hazard tape in craft projects, but you could be the first.
Custom Printed Hazard Tape: Safety Meets Branding
As we’ve discussed, the chevron pattern is designed to stand out in all lighting conditions. But there’s another level custom printed hazard tape. You can personalise the tape with your brand’s logo, colors, or safety messages to reinforce your identity while ensuring high visibility.
Our die cutting services allow us to produce custom shapes and sizes, all without compromising the durability or hazard pattern of the tape.
