FLOOR MARKING
Floor markings can improve a workplace as a form of communication utilizing
visual cues. Floor tape can outline aisles and walkways, floor signs can alert
people to the presence of a hazard, and shapes such as T’s, X’s, and corners can
keep equipment and materials where they belong.
Determine the number of aisles that you have, and identify how long the aisles
are. Multiply this number by two (you’ll need two lines per aisleway) and you
should arrive at an estimated length of aisle marking you’ll have to account for.
