The following are two quotations:

"Black and yellow hazard tape/barricade tape is one of the most well-known color combinations in all industries. Primarily used to alert employees about using caution in certain areas, or even prohibiting entry, this kind of tape is ubiquitous in the safety world."

"To make sure your line markings guide people as they should, remember: Use yellow line markings to indicate paths, work cells and traffic lanes. Use red line markings to alert employees to danger zones. Use black line markings to indicate works in progress. Use blue or green line markings in areas of raw materials."
