At Resinate Flooring, we understand the critical role that safety plays in industrial and commercial environments. As leading contractors specialising in the installation of premium epoxy resin flooring and high-performance polyurethane flooring systems, we also offer bespoke safety flooring line marking solutions tailored to suit the specific needs of your designated areas.
Effective safety line marking is more than just a visual aid—it plays a key part in optimising workflows, maintaining compliance with health and safety regulations, and ultimately protecting your workforce. This article explores the various customised solutions available for safety flooring line marking, the industries we serve, the benefits of our approach, and how tailored floor markings contribute to a safer, more efficient environment.
The Importance of Safety Flooring Line Marking
In busy industrial and commercial spaces, clear, durable, and correctly positioned floor markings are essential. Safety line markings help to:
- Designate walkways, forklift paths, and safe zones
- Indicate hazardous or restricted areas
- Improve navigability and reduce accidents
- Support site-wide compliance with HSE guidelines
Whether in a manufacturing plant, warehouse, food processing facility or distribution centre, these markings ensure that all personnel are aware of their surroundings and move safely within the space.
Customised Solutions Tailored to Your Facility
At Resinate Flooring, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Every industrial site or commercial setting presents its own set of challenges, layouts, and operational requirements. That’s why we offer fully customised line marking services, designed to integrate seamlessly with your resin flooring and your business operations.
1. Zoned Safety Areas
Customised floor markings can define clearly demarcated zones for specific functions, such as:
- Loading bays
- Emergency exits
- Pedestrian-only paths
- First aid and fire safety equipment locations
Each zone is colour-coded and labelled based on its use and regulatory requirements.
2. Hazard Identification Markings
We apply clear visual signals in high-risk areas to draw attention to:
- Electrical hazards
- Trip or slip-prone zones
- Machinery operating zones
- Low-clearance zones
3. Traffic Flow Management
For busy facilities with both foot and vehicular traffic, directional arrows, crossing zones and delineated pathways are vital. Our bespoke markings help you regulate the movement of:
- Forklifts
- Trolleys and carts
- Personnel and visitors

With proper maintenance, our line markings can retain their effectiveness for years, reducing long-term replacement costs.
