Ask any foreman their priority, and 9/10, their first answer is safety. Floor marking and line striping can create a safer and more productive facility.
Using V-8’s pigmented Hybrid XT resinous coating creates industrial strength striping quickly! Traffic patterns and workflow are an extremely important aspect of safety, productivity and efficiency on a factory floor, in a shipping and receiving facility, or in a warehouse. When they are interrupted, or changed without remarking, accidents that can cause debilitating injuries can occur.
To improve workplace health and safety standards, the Occupational Safety and Hazard Administration (OSHA) has published regulations and guidelines for floor marking and line striping in industrial facilities. Guidelines include marking of:
- High Traffic Areas
- Walkways, Stairs, and Means of Egress
- Material Storage Areas
- Hazard Storage
- Quality Assurance Inspection Holding Areas
- Areas to be kept clear for safety and compliance reasons
- Areas to be kept clear for operational purposes
Even if your facility isn’t required to comply with OSHA’s floor marking regulations, line striping and floor graphics can improve the safety, efficiency, and productivity of your workplace.
