Wayfinding and Floor Marking

What's Wayfinding and Floor Marking?

Video Transcription

When you have a complicated, busy, or dangerous area to navigate, how do you find the most efficient route to where you're going without your smartphone?

You probably start looking for signs, lines, arrows, or symbols, anything that might give you a clearer idea of where you are and where you're headed.

This is called wayfinding or pathfinding.

In large facilities such as airports or hospitals, which are filled with employees, visitors and potential hazards, wayfinding is crucial.

Now think about your workplace.

Is there high foot traffic? Are there hazards present? Maybe there are areas that need constant cleaning or organization. Way finding could be the answer.

OSHA even addresses the need for way finding in twenty nine CFR one thousand hundred ten point two two, stating that permanent aisle and passageways need to be appropriately marked.

There are two ways to bring a way finding plan to life. First is by using floor marking tape. Easy to install, durable enough to last, and not a pain to change as your business grows. Painting lines on the floor is another option, though with paint you have to consider the lengthy prep time, unwanted fumes, uneven surface issues, and the mess that is installation.
