Red DANGER barricade tape, 3 in X 1000 ft, 1.5 mil

It suits temporary visual marking, for example around maintenance work, a restricted access point or a job site zone. It is sold by the 3 in X 1000 ft roll (7.62 cm X 304.8 m), in 1.5 mil film.

Applications of the red DANGER barricade tape

Use it to surround maintenance work, mark a hazardous or restricted access area on a job site, mark off a municipal crew's work or set apart a warehouse section. It also helps guide the public along a temporary route at an event. It warns and marks off an area, but it does not hold back a person or a vehicle and does not protect against a fall: plan a physical measure where the risk calls for one.

Technical specifications of the red DANGER barricade tape

Installation, inspection and care of the barricade tape

Before unrolling the tape, identify the access points to the area and plan a route that keeps the DANGER legend visible from each one. Choose the supports and the attachment method according to your site and procedures. During the work, check that the marking stays in place and that the legend remains readable. Replace any torn, soiled or unreadable section. Once the risk is gone, remove the tape so the message keeps its full meaning.

FAQ: the red DANGER barricade tape

What is DANGER marking used for?

It warns people who approach that a risk is present and visually marks the edge of the area to avoid. It works alongside the site's other prevention measures, without replacing a physical barrier where one is required.

What size is the roll?

The tape is 3 in wide (7.62 cm) and 1000 ft long (304.8 m). These are the dimensions of the unrolled tape; the shipping dimensions in the technical table only describe the estimated package.

What does 1.5 mil mean and can I get another thickness?

This figure gives the film thickness, or 0.0381 mm. This Value grade is meant for light and temporary use. For a 2.0 mil (Contractor) or 3.5 mil (Heavy Duty) film, contact us: these two thicknesses are also available upon request and are not sold on this page.

Is the tape sold individually?

Yes. Sylprotec sells it by the roll: one unit is 1 roll. The case of 12 rolls is the format purchased from the supplier; it does not change the unit sold on this page.

How does it differ from a reinforced barricade tape?

This roll belongs to the 1.5 mil light-duty grade, meant for temporary marking. A reinforced tape is a different product, with a sturdier construction, intended for more demanding needs. If your perimeter calls for more than light and temporary marking, contact us to choose the right tape.

Suggestions for the red DANGER barricade tape

For the person installing the marking, choose equipment according to the risks on site: TenActiv ASTM/ANSI level A4 cut-resistant composite-knit gloves (GSTAFGFNT) with foam nitrile coating for handling, 3M SF201 SecureFit protective eyewear (YASF201) with clear polycarbonate lenses, a 3M SecureFit H-701SFR-UV safety helmet (RH701SFRUV) on a job site, the economical high-visibility orange surveyor vest (VV57) with 11 pockets, class 2 level 2, near traffic, and waterproof black PVC boots (VC18821C) with steel toe caps, CSA Z195 compliant, in a wet work area.

To organize the perimeter, add the high-visibility retroreflective low-density polyethylene road post (EPAL191), 47 in high, the warning line with incorporated flags (EFLAC), 328 ft (100 m), and the expandable safety barrier (EPT999), 10 ft (3 m), in aluminum painted yellow. To channel traffic, the traffic channelizer drum (EPTBA), also called a cone, is used with its 22.5 lb base (EPTBAB).
