3. Glow-in-the-Dark-Tape The most essential of all safety tapes is your standard roll of glow-in-the-dark tape. • Glow-in-the-Dark tape yields the most diversity in usage. • This can work well to outline important, expensive, or dangerous objects or areas that can be overlooked during night time or even during a power outage. • This can work well to highlight stairs or steps that can otherwise go undetected in the dark. • Highlight pillars or columns that others may walk into when light is nowhere to be found.

4. Glow: Exit Arrows Clearly point your workers and visitors towards safety. • This will help to create organization and flow when there is a lack of light or complete darkness. • During an emergency, glowing arrows will help to keep everyone calm which will in turn lower the risk of accidents taking place. • By placing arrows you can lead your employees and guests to the nearest exit which can save time and even save lives in case of an emergency.

Glow: Yield A little heads up is never a bad thing. • Will instantly catch the eye as it is a very familiar sign. • Can be used both inside and outside of the office, warehouse, or any other internal work space.

7. Glow: Emergency Exit Show them the way! • When the lights go out, it is important that people can find the emergency exits. • These can be put up at eye level or even customized as exit floor signs.
