Safety Strip and Curtain

Barrier Tape Types and Where to Use Them

Barrier tape, also called warning tape or cordon tape, is used to quickly fence off dangerous or restricted areas and warn people visually. It is the fastest way to mark out excavations, road works, construction sites, maintenance areas and accident or incident scenes. This category offers 500 m rolls and a wider safety curtain for more visible perimeters.

Product Options

• Red-white barrier tape (500 m): the most common warning tape on construction sites, excavations and road works.
• Yellow-black barrier tape (500 m): for marking hazards in factories, warehouses and around machinery.
• Natural gas warning tape: printed with the 187 natural gas emergency line, used on gas pipeline works in Turkey.
• Custom printed barrier tape: with your company name, logo or warning text.
• Safety curtain (50 m): a wider barrier that cordons off construction and work areas more visibly than tape.

Using It Correctly

Tie the tape taut between posts, cones or fixed points; slack tape is harder to see and can tear in the wind. Alternating red-white and yellow-black stripes match the colour scheme defined in Turkish workplace safety sign regulations for marking obstacles and dangerous locations. Tape is a temporary warning, so for longer closures it should be backed up with barriers or a safety curtain.

Frequently Asked Questions
