Properly labeled pipes and valves can dramatically reduce the risk of injury or damage should a leak or burst occur, as well as reduce any overall incident response time.

There are some standards to place floor marking tapes or any other markers on a place or an object. This is known as ASME/ANSI A13.1 standards. ASME/ ANSI A13.1 standards state that employers must label pipes (pipe labels) to show contents and color code them to indicate what possible hazards could result from that substance. Pipes containing ammonia, marine vessels, and health care facilities each have their own labeling standards.
