Description
Caution / Danger Tape – DCTRW75/100 – Red White
Caution / Danger / Barricade tape is brightly colored tape (incorporating a two-tone pattern of either yellow-black or red-white stripes or the words “Caution” or “Danger” in prominent lettering) that is used to warn or catch the attention of passersby of an area or situation containing a possible hazard.
It acts as a minor impediment to prevent accidental entrance to that area or situation and as a result enhances general safety. Barricade tape is also known as construction tape or barrier tape or in reference to the safety hazard involved as caution tape, warning tape, danger tape or hazard tape. When used by a police force, the tape is named police tape.
The tape is often wrapped and affixed as a visual warning sign and demarcation, for instance against entering a dangerous area, such as an industrial or commercial building site, a roadworks construction site or the scene of an accident or a crime (for crime scene preservation), or against handling inoperative machinery or appliances.
Barricade tape is used according to the color specifications set by OSHA. Barricade tape may be used primarily as a safety precaution for various industries and procedures.
