Obstacle Marking Tape

Improve job site safety and visibility with high-contrast obstacle marking tape. Designed to highlight hazardous areas, edges, and obstructions, this tape helps reduce accidents and supports OSHA safety compliance in construction sites, industrial facilities, and commercial buildings where clear hazard identification is essential. 
UL 1994 Listed Photoluminescent with Black Alternating, durable and flexible; Used to mark obstacles at or below 6 feet 6 inches in height and projecting more than 4 inches into the path of egress.

Dimensions: 1" x 164ft

Materials: Polyester Self-Adhesive Tape

What This is For: Obstacle marking tape is used to visually identify hazards, edges, and obstructions in environments where safety is critical. It is commonly applied to:
- Stair edges and uneven surfaces
- Low-clearance areas (beams, pipes, doorways)
- Construction zones and restricted areas
- Equipment perimeters and high-traffic pathways
By increasing visibility, the tape helps prevent slips, trips, and impact-related injuries, especially in fast-paced or low-visibility environments.

Legal Requirement Explained: While obstacle marking tape is not always tied to a single mandated sign requirement, it is widely used to support compliance with OSHA safety standards (29 CFR 1910 & 1926) and applicable workplace safety regulations that require employers to identify and mitigate physical hazards.
OSHA guidelines emphasize that hazardous conditions—such as tripping hazards, low-clearance obstacles, and dangerous work zones—must be clearly marked and communicated to workers and occupants. High-visibility marking solutions like obstacle tape are commonly used to meet these obligations by improving hazard awareness and reducing risk.

Disclaimer: Requirements may vary based on project type, jurisdiction, and specific site conditions. Always consult applicable local codes, OSHA regulations, and a qualified safety professional to confirm compliance for your specific application.
