Barricade Tape is a type of brightly colored tape, typically red and yellow, which is used to control access or warn individuals as to the the dangers of certain hazardous areas, such as open trenches, wet paint, wet floors and more.
To promote worker safety, regulators such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the American National Standards Institute and other government agencies, crafted rules and regulations to guide employers on how to best protect their workers.
ANSI Z535.5 specifically addresses safety tags and barricades for industries such as construction or manufacturing that have lockout/tagout procedures set into place and require a means to identify an area with a temporary hazard. For OSHA, barricade guidelines are found in regulations 1910.22 and 1920.144.
Some of these common colors include: red, which indicates danger, yellow, which means caution and orange, which can be used as a warning. Standard Barricade Tape options include yellow tape with the phrase "caution, caution, caution," yellow tape with the term "caution high voltage," and red with the sentence, "danger do not enter."
