Floor Paints

HSE guidance recommends yellow lines for pedestrian walkways and aisles, white for workstation boundaries, red for fire-related equipment locations, and blue for informational zones. Always check your site-specific safety plan.

The lifespan of floor marking tape depends on traffic levels and floor type. Heavy-duty PVC floor tape in high-forklift-traffic areas typically lasts 6–12 months, whilst lower-traffic areas may see two or more years of service.

Floor tape is quicker to apply and easier to modify or remove. Floor paint provides a more permanent solution. For high-forklift-traffic areas, line marking paint with appropriate anti-slip properties is often preferred.
