Barrier tapes and bunting are the fastest, cheapest way to mark hazards, cordon off areas, and warn people of danger. From construction sites to crime scenes, from tree surgery to event management — hazard tape is the universal language of "stay back".
Why Barrier Tape Is Essential
- Instantly marks hazardous or restricted areas
- Costs pennies per metre — the cheapest warning system available
- Universally recognised warning — red/white, black/yellow
- Ties to any post, fence, cone, or structure
- Disposable or reusable depending on type
- Meets HSE requirements for temporary hazard marking
Types Available
Non-Adhesive Barrier Tape
Standard hazard tape that ties between posts or cones. Red/white for "Danger", black/yellow for "Caution". Available in 500m+ rolls.
Printed Warning Tape
Tape printed with specific messages — "DANGER", "CAUTION", "DO NOT ENTER", "POLICE LINE". Eliminates ambiguity about the restriction.
Adhesive Hazard Tape
Self-adhesive tape for permanent marking on floors, steps, and surfaces. Black/yellow chevron tape for stairs and edges.
Safety Bunting
Pennant-style flags on a string line. High visibility in outdoor conditions. Used on construction sites, forestry, and utility works to mark overhead hazards and perimeters.
