Floor marking - which color should I choose?

Why should floors be marked?

In any type of professional business / public institution, such as schools, colleges and universities. Small and medium-sized businesses, factory and production facilities, food industry, etc. Floor marking facilitates traffic by making it clear to employees and visitors how they should move around the area. Floor marking at the right time and place also provides extra safety, as accidents can easily be avoided. For example, between moving and walking traffic. In most cases, floor marking is required by authorities, in such cases it is recommended that the company's areas are reviewed in cooperation with the company's safety representative and the Danish Working Environment Authority.

Improving Safety and Efficiency.

Floor marking ensures that the area becomes easier to understand and use in everyday life. A safer workplace can be achieved even if markings are made that do not necessarily follow the standards. For example, marking areas for tools, trash cans, pallets, trolleys, etc. will reduce the risk of accidents as things will not be lying around the workplace. This also makes everyday life more efficient as you no longer have to search for the materials you need.

Floor marking is a good way to reinforce information that is typically forgotten over time. This could, for example, be a floor sign with "hearing protection required". It is always a good idea to place this type of information around the workplace so that there is never any doubt about which rules apply.

Many companies already use floor marking for safety marking, but few have taken advantage of the opportunity to improve efficiency with smart, creative floor marking, which is a simple and inexpensive solution to achieve a form of "nudging" and a tidier workplace. At the same time, labels can be placed on the tape to clarify what the marking means.

"Correct marking often makes people do what you want them to do, without you having to tell them."
