Industrial Painting For Pedestrian Safety Walkways in Factories, Warehouses & Industrial Facilities

Installing pedestrian safety walkways is one of the quickest ways to increase workplace safety for workers in a manufacturing plant or warehouse.

Pedestrian walkways, also known as pedestrian aisles or safety walkways, are designated areas of the floor in warehouses and factories intended for those on foot. Safety walkways may lead to specific areas, fire exits, or storage zones, or just keep pedestrians in a designated “safety zone” and on the safe side of dangerous moving equipment (lift trucks, manufacturing equipment, etc.). Pedestrian safety walkways are typically implemented using a combination of colour-coded painted areas and lines.

The intent behind pedestrian walkways is to improve safety; to keep people walking apart and separated from forklift trucks and other vehicles, thus helping to reduce the incidence and possibility of accidents in the workplace. Pedestrian walkway safety is something which employers, safety managers, and those designing workplaces must pay close attention to.

OSHA recommends separating pedestrians from lift trucks by providing clearly visible designated pedestrian safety walkways or pedestrian aisles.

We have been installing safety pedestrian walkways for decades, and can usually have the whole process completed within one weekend or two days during the week, depending upon the operating hours of the facility.

What Our Clients Say

We’ve used Induspray twice now, and both times had great success and were very happy. Will use again if we need more painting done.

Andy and his crew cannot be more recommended. In all our dealings, he was professional and honest. The quality of the work was excellent, and the price was reasonable. Thanks again.

Induspray painted all the aluminum siding on the exterior of our warehouse, plus parts of the interior. The exterior totalled over 20,000 square feet. We’re very pleased with the results and how well the project was handled. Thanks, we could not really ask for more and are completely satisfied.

Thanks again for the great job on our floor. It looks fantastic and we just wish we had done it sooner because our place looks so much cleaner and brighter now.

FAQs for Industrial Pedestrian Safety Walkway Painting

In Ontario, workplace safety regulations emphasize clear visual markings to prevent accidents. Safety walkway painting helps companies comply with Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) standards by minimizing the risk of slips, collisions, and injuries in high-traffic industrial zones.

In high-traffic industrial environments, safety walkways should typically be repainted every 12–24 months, depending on foot traffic, equipment movement, and floor wear. Facilities in Toronto and the GTA often follow scheduled maintenance to ensure compliance and worker safety.

For industrial floor markings in Canada, including Toronto and the GTA, epoxy or urethane-based paints are commonly used due to their durability, chemical resistance, and fast-drying properties. These paints can withstand heavy machinery and daily wear.

Yes, under Ontario’s health and safety guidelines, warehouses and manufacturing facilities are strongly encouraged (and in some cases required) to use painted floor markings to identify pedestrian zones, especially when forklifts or machinery operate nearby.

Most walkway painting projects in industrial facilities can be completed within 1–2 days, depending on the size of the area and drying time. Induspray offers flexible scheduling across the GTA and Ontario to minimize downtime.

According to safety standards, green or yellow is often used to mark pedestrian walkways, while red indicates danger zones. Custom colours can also be applied to match internal safety protocols in Toronto-area facilities.

Yes, properly marked walkways help businesses comply with Ontario’s Ministry of Labour safety standards and ISO/ANSI guidelines. Induspray ensures all walkway painting meets local and federal workplace safety requirements.

Yes, with the right surface preparation and specialized coatings, safety walkway lines can be applied during cold months in Toronto and across Ontario. However, indoor conditions and temperature control improve adhesion and curing.

Costs vary depending on the size of the area, type of paint, and complexity of the layout. Induspray provides free on-site estimates across Ontario.
