Floor marking is a key part in creating a visual and safe workplace because it makes the space easier to understand. These areas fall into four broad categories.
Consistent and clear markings help improve overall efficiency and safety
Keep stair treads clear and maintained and handrails brightly marked
Signs and labels should be clearly visible and legible at all times
Identify and repair cracks and expanding joints as well as areas that may need an anti-slip coating
