OSHA regulations require permanent aisles and passageways be marked with ANSI Z535.2 Yellow as the caution color. By marking possible hazard areas with Yellow floor tape will reduce the possibility of stumbling, falling or tripping. Marking tapes is highly recognized at the most convenient and inexpensive way to mark aisles since painted lines will eventually chip, peel and crack over time especially in heavy traffic. Another OSHA requirement for aisles and passageways is that "sufficient safe clearances" must be provided where mechanical equipment is used. The width requirement is dependent on how the aisle is utilized. Forklift and truck traffic aisles need to be wider than pedestrian traffic. OSHA requires minimum tape width to be 2 inches. Typical applications use tape widths 2 inches to 6 inches.
