Warning marking & Warning signs

With the right warning markings, risk areas become clear and accidents can be prevented. Warning tape and warning signs are used to draw attention to slippery surfaces, differences in level, uneven surfaces and other potential hazards where there is a risk of slipping, tripping or injury.

Clear color contrasts and clear symbols help to quickly capture attention and make the environment safer – both at home, in the workplace and in public environments. A simple measure that can make a big difference to everyday safety


Frequently Asked Questions about Warning Tape and Warning Signs

What is warning tape?

Warning tape is a brightly colored tape used to mark hazardous areas, such as slippery floors, stairs, level differences or edges. The tape helps draw attention to potential hazards and reduces the risk of slips, trips and falls.

How can warning tape be used?

Warning tape can be applied to floors, steps, ramps, edges and other surfaces where there is a risk of slipping or tripping. It is used both indoors and outdoors to create clear contrasts that make risk areas easier to see.

When should warning signs be used?

Warning signs are used when it is important to clearly inform about a specific risk, for example “Risk of slipping”, “Uneven surface” or “Risk of landslide”. Signs are especially important for temporary risks or where extra clear information is needed to prevent accidents
