The answer lies in planning a workspace from the ground up. Whether it is during the initial planning stage or after having established a natural flow of traffic, the secret to any well-organised workplace is a set of colour codes and guidelines, such as the \u20185S Floor Marking Colour Standard\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.direct2u.co.uk\/matting\/floor-tape-paints.html\"><strong>Floor Marking Tape<\/strong><\/a> is the most cost-effective solution.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The\u00a0benefits<\/strong> of a Floor Marking Colour Scheme<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Provides an orderly and safe flow of goods and helps in directing traffic along aisles and pathways.<\/li>\n<li>Ensures better organisation and clearly marks where to store, load and unload goods &amp;\u00a0machinery. A clear pattern eliminates confusion and wasting precious time searching as a result.<\/li>\n<li>Transmits important messages and if used correctly, can help anyone identify the workflow of a workplace within a minute.<\/li>\n<li>A\u00a0durable solution and can take the abuse of warehouse traffic.<\/li>\n<li>Add it quickly\u00a0to any workplace without interrupting or limiting access to work areas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Unfortunately, there are currently no government-mandated or widely accepted standards.\u00a0<strong>Occupational Safety &amp; Health Administration (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/\">OSHA<\/a>)<\/strong> regulations state that companies should clearly mark permanent aisles &amp; passageways. Meanwhile in the UK, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hse.gov.uk\/workplacetransport\/separating.htm\">HSE<\/a>\u00a0requires that companies separate pedestrian and vehicle circulation. While companies\u00a0referenced ANSI Z535 Safety Colour Code in the past, it is not a sound formulation for floor marking and no longer represents recommended best practices. As a result, most companies use whichever colours are available to them. They miss a chance to organise their work area for efficiency and effectiveness as a result.<\/p>\n<h3>5S Floor Marking Colour Scheme<\/h3>\n<p>A colour scheme titled<strong> \u20185S Floor Marking Colour Scheme\u2019<\/strong> developed by Brady\u00a0has become a point of reference for companies that seek to standardise floor markings. The guide complies with the OSHA 1910.144 and can help\u00a0to visually separate work areas and passageways. Identifying\u00a0the locations of machinery, emergency equipment and assembly areas thus becomes easier.<\/p>\n<p>Although\u00a0the scheme is\u00a0short and sweet for the sake of simplicity and easy learning,\u00a0companies can personalise it\u00a0to fit the needs of any workplace! It can improve productivity and organisation, not just safety.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/direct2u.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Floor-Marking-Colours-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-459 size-full\" title=\"Floor Marking Colour Usage Guide\" src=\"https:\/\/direct2u.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Floor-Marking-Colours-1.jpg\" alt=\"Floor Marking Colour Usage Guide\" width=\"1000\" height=\"684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/direct2u.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Floor-Marking-Colours-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/direct2u.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Floor-Marking-Colours-1-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/direct2u.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Floor-Marking-Colours-1-768x525.jpg 768w, https:\/\/direct2u.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Floor-Marking-Colours-1-980x670.jpg 980w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>*For a text and more accessible version, please scroll to the end of the post.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Guidelines and<strong> best practices<\/strong> for floor markings<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Use as few colours as possible, making it easier for employees to remember the meaning of each code.<\/li>\n<li>Identify specific colours with specific purposes, such as matching equipment locations with aisle ways and work cell boundaries.<\/li>\n<li>Pair floor tape with labels, to minimise the number of tape colours as well as\u00a0for easier identification of goods, work areas or machinery.<\/li>\n<li>Use yellow floor markings to\u00a0mark existing aisles and passageways as well as to demarcate safe aisles and passageways that do not exist without the floor markings.<\/li>\n<li>Separate pedestrian lanes and motorised traffic lanes in warehouses that use fork lifts, for example.<\/li>\n<li>Separate workers from hazards such as high noise, flammable or combustive material containers by using yellow and black striped tape.<\/li>\n<li>Areas that require additional safety and slip &amp; trip prevention can be demarcated.
