Multi Purpose Caution Tape

Barricade tape is a visual and physical obstruction intended to warn and limit access to a work area. There are different types of tape, and you should be familiar with all of them. The two most commonly used in construction are yellow caution and red danger tape.

Yellow Caution/Warning Tape Indicates:

The area has safety and health concerns of a lower degree. This could range from anything from hoses or cables on the ground, noise, heavy equipment in use, a congested work area and more. Unless the tape states otherwise … yellow tape can mean, “Enter, but proceed with caution.”

• Use tape to identify work sites, construction hazardous areas, perimeters, and the presence of excavation work
• Use barricade tape with red (danger) or yellow (caution) tape to seal off areas where work equipment, workers’ private vehicles, materials, and debris are stored
• Hang caution tape from overhanging plumbing that you could hit with your head
• Caution tape may be used for a controlled access line if it will support 200 pounds
