What is Safety Marking Makes Invisible Hazards Visible?
Quick answer: Safety markings are floor lines, hatching and symbols that show workers where hazards, exclusion zones, emergency stops and evacuation routes are. Line Marking Australia uses red for danger, yellow for caution and green for emergency routes, matched to your safety signs (AS 1319) and your site traffic management plan.
A manufacturing plant in Broadmeadows called us after a worker was injured by a robot arm. The automated cell had proper guarding, but the exclusion zone around the access gate wasn't marked. During maintenance, workers stood too close to the gate opening. The plant needed visible safety zones around all automated equipment.
We marked red and yellow exclusion zones around every robot cell, automated machine, and high-voltage switchboard. Keep-out boundaries with clear hatching. Emergency stop positions marked on the floor. The safety manager incorporated the marking into lockout-tagout procedures. Workers now have constant visual reference for danger zones.
We made a colour specification error at a food processing plant in Tullamarine in 2017. We used standard safety yellow in an area where yellow indicated food-grade equipment. The clash caused confusion. We had to change to a different colour scheme at our cost, around $2,400. Now we verify existing colour conventions before specifying.
Under the Model WHS Regulations, you must manage the risks from plant and moving vehicles, and floor markings are one of the simplest controls. See our WHS floor legends and muster point and fire exit marking services.

Frequently Asked Questions
Red indicates danger or prohibition. Yellow indicates caution or warning. Green indicates safety information or emergency routes. Black/yellow hatching indicates physical hazards.
Yes, floor marking is a key element of workplace traffic management. We can mark the traffic routes and separation zones specified in your traffic management plan.
Yes, robot cells and automated machinery are common applications. We mark exclusion zones covering the full movement envelope plus safe access paths for maintenance.
Green floor marking shows evacuation routes to exits and assembly areas. This ground-level guidance remains visible when smoke obscures wall-mounted signs.
Yes, floor marking should complement wall signage. We ensure marking colours and messages are consistent with your existing safety sign system.
Safety marking should be checked during regular safety audits. Faded or damaged marking should be repaired promptly since visibility is critical for safety purposes.
On a busy factory floor, standard acrylic safety markings usually need repainting every 12–18 months, while two-pack epoxy lasts about 5–7 years in the same conditions. Line Marking Australia recommends checking safety markings at every safety audit and touching up worn areas at forklift turning points first.
