The
Occupational Safety and Health Act requires that industrial plants color
code safety equipment and hazardous areas with specific colors. We can
furnish aerosol
paints and other products to meet your needs. |
The American
Public Works Association encourages public agencies, utilities,
contractors and all groups involved in ground excavation to incorporate
its standard system of subsurface facilities to prevent accidental damage,
service interruption or injury. Use Utility Marking Paints to indicate
locations and direction changes of buried lines. |
