According to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA),”barricade” is defined as an obstruction to prevent the passage of individuals or vehicles. Barricades are something you see everywhere you go from banks, to military bases, factories and even furniture stores. They can be simple as rope strung across an opening, or welded framework protecting people from a manhole that is left open. You can use custom caution tape in areas such as construction sites where you can warn people to stay out of potentially dangerous situations. You can make your own barricades but they don’t look pretty and won’t do the job as commercially available barricades do.

Some of the potential dangers that require barricades include moving machinery, exposed wires and high temperature valves. Most people do not identify the hazards behind the barricade and for informing people of the impending danger barricade tape or caution tape can be used as they contain messages and warning signs that are easily recognizable for people. Regulatory bodies such as OSHA, ANSI (American National Standards Institute) and other government agencies have protocols for some of these situations that need barricades such as caution tapes, machine guards, road cones or anything that traffic related. Most of your barricade best practices will be based on common sense and workplace experience. OSHA has put forward specific color coding of barricade tapes and other barricade products and some of them mentioned below.

·         Black or Yellow – Physical hazards

·         Magenta or Yellow – Radiation hazards

·         Black or White – Housekeeping and aisle marking

·         Green or White – Safety and first aid

·         Orange or White – Traffic and caution warning

·         Blue or White – Defective machinery

Even though color coding is specified by OSHA, but when it comes to size, material and weight of the barricade the decision is up to the manufacturers. For barricade tapes, there are hundreds of versions of messages have been produced in dozens of languages. You can even purchase caution tapes without any messages or marking at all. Nowadays, you can get barricade tapes that have standardized dimensions such as three-inch wide tape by thousand feet long for disposable tapes. Typical tape configuration is 2-4 mm thick, non-sticky and manufactured from polyethylene.

There are reusable barricade tapes and are normally much thicker up to 10mm and are made from nylon or polypropylene. There are certain industries which have their own specifications for barrier tapes such as heavy paper tape used in paper and chemical manufacturing plants. If you are supporter of greener environment, then you can use biodegradable tapes which are now popular in the market. Many manufacturers produce customized barricade tapes which useful in specific situations or industry-specific issues. Also, there are normal or reflective, plain or fluorescent, non-adhesive or sticky-backed barricade tapes for your cost-effective safety aid needs.
