Beaverswood Self-Adhesive Escape Route Tape - Ensure Workplace Safety
When emergency strikes and visibility plummets, can your workforce navigate escape routes safely? Every second counts during power cuts, fires, or hazardous incidents – yet traditional signage often fails when it's needed most. The Beaverswood Photoluminescent Hazard Tape (PHT50) provides a reliable, self-charging solution that guides personnel to safety even in complete darkness. Backed by 40 years of British manufacturing excellence, this high-performance tape transforms passive signage into an active safety system that works when standard lighting can't.
