Protect Your Worksite with High-Visibility Safety Products
Safety cones and barricade tape are fundamental tools for creating secure work zones, directing traffic flow, and preventing accidents in various environments.
What are Safety Cones?
Safety cones (also known as traffic cones or pylons) are cone-shaped markers typically made from durable PVC or rubber. They feature bright colors (usually orange, yellow, or red) and often have reflective sleeves for enhanced visibility. Available in multiple sizes from 12 inches to 36 inches tall, they serve as physical barriers to mark hazards, define work areas, or redirect pedestrian and vehicle traffic.
Benefits of Safety Cones
High Visibility: Fluorescent colors and reflective strips ensure noticeability day and night.
Durability: Made from flexible materials that withstand impact, weather, and UV exposure.
Portability: Lightweight design allows for easy deployment and storage.
Versatility: Used in roadwork, warehouses, parking lots, and indoor events.
What is Barricade Tape?
Barricade tape (also called caution tape or barrier tape) is a non-adhesive tape used to create highly visible boundaries around dangerous or restricted areas. It is made from durable polyethylene or similar material and printed with bold, repeating text messages like "Caution," "Danger," "Do Not Enter," or "Police Line."
Benefits of Barricade Tape
Clear Communication: Instantly conveys warnings and instructions through text and color coding.
Highly Visible: Bright colors (like yellow/black or red/white) grab immediate attention.
Easy Deployment: Quickly unrolls to secure large perimeters with minimal effort.
Cost-Effective: An affordable solution for temporary hazard marking.
Common Applications
Construction Sites: Marking excavation areas, material storage, and overhead hazards.
Road Work & Traffic Control: Directing vehicle flow, lane closures, and accident scenes.
Emergency Services: Securing perimeters for police, fire, and medical responders.
Warehouses & Factories: Identifying wet floors, equipment under maintenance, or storage zones.
Public Events: Managing crowds and designating restricted areas.
Choosing the Right Product
Select cones based on size needed for your visibility requirements. Choose barricade tape with messaging appropriate for the level of hazard ("Caution" for minor risks, "Danger" for severe threats). Both products are essential for any comprehensive safety program, helping organizations comply with OSHA and other safety regulations by clearly communicating potential dangers to workers and the public.
Always ensure your safety cones are placed on stable ground and that barricade tape is securely fastened to fixed objects to create an effective barrier.
