ANSI Standard Safety Signs: Custom Barricade Tapes To Take A New Route In The 21st Century!!

“Everything in the world changes and what remains unchanged is change itself”

Emphasizing the meaning of the quote, we remain adhered to changes happening around the world and this transformation also extends to the world of security tapes.Since the beginning of the modern era,  we might not have seen any changes in the templates or designs of the barricade tapes which is a common scenario in our day-to day lives; the same highlighted colors like yellow or red tapes.But the right time has come and Occupational Safety and Health Hazards Organization(OSHO), the team panel responsible for laying standards for security and custom barricade tapes, have come out with a new ANSI standard safety sign, Z535 and its various versions.Let’s know more about ANSI standard and its application.

How and why are they used?

They are primarily used for conveying custom information in multiple locations and this complexity can be handled only by the ANSI standard. The cost is considerably low when compared to the single sign applications and have been finding implementations in electric utilities and transportation industry at a large extent. On the whole; the ability to provide complicated information in a better and consistent matter is the reason for the preference of barricade tapes with ANSI standards.

ANSI standards: The guardian to hazardous circumstances

The 21st century barricade tapes, unlike the ones of 1990’s have shown many transformational changes and some of them are listed below:

• Managing multilingual population : America is a country comprising of people of diversified and varying cultures. This depicts that English is not the first preference, in terms of language and exposing the warning signs in different languages lies first in the priority list; while designing barricade tapes.
• Public safety : It is the public who is vulnerable to hazardous situations and a single entry to the uncontrolled environment outside, can cause severe injuries and damages to them, particularly the workers, small kids and service immigrants. Reports have suggested that the rates of such misfortunes have risen up to 100 million in a year. Safety signs with ANSI standards is the best possible method to make the people aware of such dangerous circumstances.
• Hidden hazards: It was unimaginable to design safety tapes which alerts  people of electrocution or high content of toxic gas a few years back, but now the scenario has changed and safety signs which show casts hidden hazards like cancer, infertility and birth issues are being displayed.The emergency situation responsiveness, inside the factory environment have enhanced because of the emergence of mobile controlled equipments.
