Why should floors be marked?

In any type of professional company / public institution, such as schools, colleges and universities. Small and medium-sized companies, factories and production plants, food industry, etc. Floor marking facilitates traffic by making it visible to employees and outsiders, so that they can immediately and easily see how to move around the area. Floor marking at the right time and place also provides extra safety, as accidents are easily avoided. For example, between driving and walking traffic. In most cases, floor marking is required by the 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 (see Prevention of accident risks during internal traffic in companies ).

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 you make markings 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 are therefore not lying around in the workplace. It also makes everyday life more efficient as you no longer have to look for the equipment you need.

Floor markings are a great way to reinforce information that is typically forgotten over time. For example, a floor sign could say "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 what rules apply.

Many companies already use floor marking for safety marking, but few have taken 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, making it visible what is meant by the marking.
