Underground Warning Tapes

Construction warning tapes are brightly coloured plastic tapes with bold text that highlight a particular hazard, such as electrical cables, open sewers or asbestos. They’re often non-adhesive and designed to be stretched between poles or barriers, making them more visible to passers-by, or buried in trenches above the hazard to warn future construction workers. Those designed to highlight subterranean hazards, such as buried cables or pipes, are known as underground warning tapes.
