What is Safety Line Marking That Protects Workers?

Quick answer: Line Marking Australia marks workplace safety lines across Australia: yellow forklift lanes, white pedestrian paths, red hazard zones and hatched exclusion areas. The layout is based on how traffic actually moves on your site and supports your duty to manage forklift risks under the Model WHS Regulations. Most work is done after hours or during production shutdowns.

A food processing plant in Adelaide had a near-miss incident. A forklift reversed into a pedestrian walkway that was not clearly marked. The worker escaped injury, but the incident triggered a SafeWork SA investigation. Faded floor markings were identified as a contributing factor.

We assessed the facility over a weekend, mapped all traffic flows, and designed a comprehensive marking system. Yellow forklift lanes, white pedestrian paths, red hazard zones, blue storage areas. Clear hierarchy, unmistakable separation. Applied over three consecutive nights during production shutdown.

WorkSafe signed off on the improvements. More importantly, workers now have clear visual guidance about where they can safely walk. That is what safety marking is really about: creating an environment where people do not get hurt because the rules are obvious. Safe Work Australia’s General guide for industrial lift trucks lists keeping people and forklifts apart as a key control.
