Vehicle Safety on Construction Sites: How Heskins Tape Reduces Risk

Vehicle Safety on Construction Sites: How Heskins Tape Reduces Risk

Heavy vehicles such as forklifts, diggers, and delivery trucks are a constant presence on construction sites. With so much movement in often confined spaces, accidents between vehicles and pedestrians are a serious risk. Clear traffic management and slip prevention measures are essential to keep workers safe.

Heskins manufactures a wide range of tapes designed specifically to improve safety in environments where vehicles and people operate side by side. From long-lasting floor markings to anti-slip protection for machinery, these products provide reliable safety solutions for construction projects.

Durable Floor Markings

Segregating vehicles and pedestrians is one of the most effective ways to reduce collisions. Painted lines can wear away quickly under forklift traffic, while repainting means downtime.

Heskins PermaStripe and PermaRoute are heavy-duty floor marking systems built to withstand constant vehicle use. They create clear walkways, lanes, and loading zones that last, and they can be lifted and reapplied if site layouts change.

Hazard Visibility

Loading bays, reversing zones, and blind spots require extra visibility:
• Hazard Warning Anti-Slip Tape uses bold black-and-yellow stripes to make danger areas unmistakable.
• Reflective Tape improves visibility in poor lighting or bad weather.
• Glow in the Dark Tape provides guidance during power outages or night work.
These visual cues help drivers and pedestrians quickly identify risk zones.

Anti-Slip Protection for Machinery

Slips don’t just happen on the ground. Steps, digger platforms, and diamond plate surfaces can be hazardous when wet or muddy.
Heskins Safety Grip Anti-Slip Tapes, available in coarse and extra-coarse grades, bond securely to metal surfaces and provide sure footing for operators. They can also be die-cut to fit specific platforms or steps on construction machinery.

Temporary Routes

As construction phases change, so do site traffic routes. Heskins Removable Anti-Slip Tape is ideal for temporary ramps, scaffold boards, or access points, offering safety where it’s needed and peeling away cleanly once the job is done.

Safer Sites, Fewer Accidents

By integrating Heskin’s tape solutions, construction companies can:
• Reduce collisions with clear, durable traffic markings.
• Improve visibility of hazards in all conditions.
• Protect workers and operators with anti-slip surfaces.
• Adapt quickly to evolving site layouts.
From pedestrian routes to digger steps, Heskins tapes provide simple, effective, and cost-efficient safety measures for modern construction sites.
