When you think of cones perhaps you think only about the bright orange ones that you see on the side of the road used by many road workers. But Emedco, who is a leader in workplace safety, realizes that cones can not only help protect those on the outside of your business, but those on the inside as well and can supply you with a number of cone options with safety in mind.
Along with the typical traffic and work zone safety cones you would expect to see there are also a number of what are known as “floor cones” to help keep those inside your business safe. Even if you already have cones you can jazz them up and make them safer with a number of cone accessories.
Of course the types of cones you will need to keep your business safe will depend on your business itself, but it is nice to know that there are in fact options. Here are some of the many types of cones your business can use to help in the safety department:
Traffic and Work Zone Cones: Using traffic and work zone cones in your workplace can help greatly to control the flow of traffic in and out of your parking lot or to simply mark off a bad area that needs work such as a pot hole saving you and your employees from a flat tire or bent rim. There are different types of traffic and safety cones such as traffic delineator cones, regular orange cones, orange cones with reflective lines, colored cones, and so many more.
Floor Safety Cones: Did you know that one of the most common workplace accidents is slip and fall? People slip and fall on a surface that would otherwise be steady when that surface is wet due to a spill or being freshly mopped. By using floor safety cones you can warn others that an area is wet and that caution needs to be used in that area. There are also floor safety cones that can be used in a warehouse that can warn anyone entering that the area may require special safety equipment to be worn such as a hard hat. Many floor safety cones come in a variety of colors and also with a bi-lingual option.
Cone Accessories:Already have cones? Put them to better use with a number of different cone accessories. Cone accessories are made to fit into the top opening of a standard cone and have a multitude of options for what they will say. You can choose from such phrases as Caution, Slippery, Construction Area, and so much more. Each accessory also comes with a picture that goes along with the verbiage on the sign. For example a Slippery When Wet accessory sign will have a picture of a man slipping. This grabs the attention of people passing by even if they don’t take the time to read the sign.
Who knew cones could help protect you and your employees so well? Once again, Emedco proves that safety in the workplace can be achieved and once again they provide you with yet another option to help you in your safety quest.
