How Reflective Tape Helps Keep Workers Safe

In a rapidly progressing country like India, new developments are taking place in every field. Growth is evident, be it in Technology or Infrastructure.

For instance, since we are developing at a quick pace, many structures and establishments are being created for a better lifestyle. However, the problem arises when the people behind creating them often work in life-threatening situations due to mishaps caused by low visibility.

This problem can be tackled by improving visibility and one of the effective mechanisms is the usage of reflective tapes in various ways

 

What Are Reflective Tapes?

Reflective tapes, also known as retro-reflective tapes, are a type of safety product that enhances visibility by reflecting light in the same direction. It simply means that if the car’s light falls on the reflective tape in a low-light area, the tape will shine and reflect the light onto the driver, thus alerting the driver to avoid any fatal accidents.

These reflective tapes make sure that the wearer or the surface that it is applied to, is visible even in absolute dark conditions.

How Do Reflective Tapes Help?

Accidents caused due to lack of visibility are a huge concern in India. Around eighty thousand people lose their lives every year, due to road accidents.

The workers on a construction site or the laborers in a factory will work more efficiently, knowing that they are visible and safe from danger. Reflective tapes ensure their safety. The reflecting properties in the tape make sure that the applied surface is visible to approaching people

 

These tapes are utilized in different locations other than industrial units and work sites. A few of the places where it may be required are mentioned below.

Industrial premises

Reflective tapes are widely used in clothing to improve the visibility of the wearer.
