Construction sites are busy, ever-changing environments. Surfaces can become slippery, access routes are constantly being adapted, and clear hazard marking is essential. To keep workers safe and projects compliant, simple but effective safety measures are required. Heskins manufactures a wide range of anti-slip and marking tapes that are ideal for the construction sector, providing immediate safety benefits with quick installation and minimal downtime.

Anti-Slip Safety Grip Tapes
Temporary walkways, stair treads, scaffold boards, and ramps are all high-risk areas on construction sites. Heskins Safety Grip Anti-Slip Tape is a fast and reliable way to reduce slip accidents in these locations. Available in standard, coarse, and extra-coarse grits, it offers strong traction underfoot-even in wet, muddy, or dusty conditions commonly found on site.
For areas that only need protection for a short period, Heskins also produces Removable Anti-Slip Tape, which provides the same high-quality grip but can be lifted without leaving behind residue. This makes it particularly useful during phased construction projects where surfaces are later finished or dismantled.

Hazard & High-Visibility Tapes
Visual warnings are just as important as underfoot grip. Heskins Hazard Warning Anti-Slip Tape combines slip resistance with instantly recognisable black-and-yellow chevrons. Applying this tape at edges, drop zones, or restricted areas ensures workers can see potential dangers quickly.
For low-light environments, Heskins Reflective Tape helps to highlight boundaries, equipment, or access points, while Glow in the Dark Photoluminescent Tape provides guidance on exit routes and pathways during power failures or night work.

Floor Marking & Zoning
Organising site traffic is critical when multiple trades are working simultaneously. Heskins offers a wide range of Line Marking Tapes such as PermaStripe and PermaRoute, which create durable visual boundaries for walkways, storage areas, and loading bays. These tapes adhere securely to concrete, wood, or metal floors, resisting the heavy traffic of boots, trolleys, and machinery. Unlike painted lines, tape can be applied quickly, without curing time, and replaced if site layouts change.

Additional Specialist Tapes for Construction
• Handrail Grip Tape: Improves safety on ladders, scaffold access towers, and handrails by increasing grip.
• Non-Abrasive Anti-Slip Tape: Provides traction in areas where workers may kneel or handle materials without gloves, reducing the risk of abrasion injuries.
• Corrosion Protection Tape: Helps protect exposed steelwork, fixtures, or joints from environmental damage during the build process.

Why Heskins Tape Works for Construction Sites
• Quick to install: Apply directly to clean, dry surfaces without the need for specialist tools.
• Durable: Designed to withstand heavy site traffic and harsh outdoor conditions.
• Flexible: Options for temporary or long-term use depending on project needs.
• Compliant: Supports safer working environments and helps construction companies meet health & safety requirements.

By integrating Heskins tapes into daily site operations, construction teams can reduce accidents, improve organisation, and maintain efficiency across all phases of a project. From scaffolding to stairwells, walkways to work zones, there is a Heskins tape designed to make construction safer and more productive.
