The Benefits of Color-Coding Your Floors and Pathways
Having a consistent color standard for floor marking and understanding the regulations that influence these best practices will help you create and maintain a safer, leaner and more efficient facility.
With the right colors in the right places, you can easily keep workers on the right path and identify equipment, storage areas, hazardous areas, forklift traffic and more. Use as few colors as possible to make it easier for employees to remember the meaning of each color and reduce the number of floor marking products you need.
This color guide will help your floor marking be consistent in your workplace:
Yellow
Aisle ways, traffic lanes and work cells.
White
Equipment and fixtures not otherwise color coded (workstations, carts, floor stand displays, racks, etc.)
Blue | Green | Black
Materials and components, including raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods
Orange
Materials or products held for inspection
Red
Defects, scrap, rework and red tag areas
Photoluminescent
Steps and perimeter demarcation to identify egress routes in a lights-out emergency
Red & White Stripe
Areas to be kept clear for safety/compliance reasons (areas in front of electrical panels, firefighting equipment, and safety equipment)
Black & White Stripe
Areas to be kept clear for operational purposes (not related to safety or compliance standards)
Yellow & Black Stripe
Areas that may expose employees to physical or health hazards
This guide includes color standards, best practices, OSHA regulations and more!
