Hello Everyone, This is David Tabar here. I am pleased to have joined Mighty Line floor tape in a new role as Innovative Safety Solutions Director.

My role at ShieldMark Inc. is to create and implement innovative safety information, communications and solutions that directly serve Mighty Line’s floor marking tape growing customers, knowledge base, and operations. I will be hosting a podcast called the Mighty Line Monday Minute apart of the Safety Stripes podcast.

I am looking forward to communicating with you regularly about interesting and unique topics. Some of these you will be very familiar with, while others will involve new areas of learning.

I’ll be discussing safety as it relates to floor tape and floor sign products, regulations and innovations. From these communications you will see how and why Mighty Line’s mission is to improve safety in your workplace.

I am excited to be on-board working for this fast-growing company. I was attracted by their innovative products, mighty line floor tape, and mighty line floor signs and their entrepreneurial spirit, and their fast growth. But most importantly, what excited me was, and is, their innate desire to make the world a better and safer place in which to live.

For now, I would like to express our deepest wishes for your health and safety, both at home and at work, and throughout 2024. And if you are traveling this week, be mindful to keep a safe distance while being prepared to take action from unsafe drivers. And if you’re like me, who’s used to driving in Cleveland and upper Midwest winters, be sure to keep emergency [supplies] [food, water and clothing] in your vehicle!

A GUIDE TO 5S TAPE COLORS FOR LEAN MANUFACTURING

At Mighty Line Tape, we recognize that workplaces with clear and logical communication tend to operate more safely and efficiently. This is why we offer a variety of 5S floor tape colors and safety products that will decrease injuries and increase the overall productivity of your facility.

OUR GUIDE TO A SAFE AND EFFICIENT WORKPLACE

Wondering how to go about transforming your workplace into one that is both efficient and safe? Start by considering the following:

What items do you need most often, and which are unnecessary?
Which items should be closer to each other?
Which should be closer to the shipping area?
Where should trash cans be located?
Where are the most likely collision points?
Which passageways tend to get blocked?
What are the safety hazards?

Document your answers and create a plan for your workplace. To ensure workplace organization for years to come, conduct an annual review of your plan, and revise as needed.

THE BASIC 5S STEPS

5S is an organization method that when properly implemented and followed can greatly improve the productivity and safety of a workplace. 5S stands for:

Sort – Sort through all the items in a location and leave only what is necessary.

Set in Order – Use 5S floor tape colors and floor markers to show workflow patterns, delineate work areas, and mark proper placement of tools, inventories, and machinery.

Shine – Make your workplace shine and keep employee morale high with regular cleaning.

Standardize – Make a routine for your workers. Ensure that they always know what they’re supposed to do, how best to do it, and when to do it. 5S tape colors, floor signs, and placement markers can play a big role in helping standardize a workplace.

Sustain – Ensure that these practices are not just rules and that instead they are an integral piece of company culture.

5S Floor TAPE COLORS

A key aspect of any 5S workplace is colored floor marking tape. At Mighty Line Tape, we offer 5S floor tape in a variety of colors and sizes to ensure optimal workplace organization. Our line of colored floor marking tape is made of heavy-duty materials and is equipped to handle industrial scrubbers, forklifts, truck traffic, and much more.

The 5S floor marking colors we offer, and their recommended applications are as follows:

Yellow – Yellow indicates safe paths for walking in a facility and is one of the most commonly used 5S tape colors.

Red – To designate dangerous areas and emergency exits, red floor marking tape is used.

Black – In 5S workplaces, black tape is used to mark finished goods areas.

Blue – Blue floor marking tape is used in facilities to signify zones that contain works in progress or equipment that is under repair.

Orange – Orange tape is used to denote products or materials that are held for inspection.

Green – In a 5S workplace, green tape marks safety-related areas such as eyewash stations and safety showers.

White – White tape is typically used to mark off production equipment such as machines, carts, and incoming racks in a 5S facility.

These recommendations for 5S tape colors are based on industry common practice and comply with OSHA guidelines.

ADDITIONAL 5S PRODUCTS WE OFFER

In addition to 5S floor tape colors, we offer a variety of other products designed to keep your facility safe and organized. The 5S safety products we provide include:

Our safety products are commonly used in warehouses, oil and gas facilities, healthcare and hospitality environments, and a variety of other workplaces.
