A 3 MPH wind means a toxic gas can travel 264 feet in 1 minute!^* Ordinary windsocks cannot detect low wind movement, only the Wind Tracker Windsock System can.

What color windsocks should we use?

We have two standard OSHA compliant color schemes. Safety black & yellow is often used for evacuation lanes, and some chemical storage situations, and the orange & white for heliports, and air traffic situations. We also have custom colors and you can have us design one for your company complete with logo, and text.

How many should we use at our location?

For inbound traffic such as helicopters, and first responders one or two elevated units may be all that is required. They should be visible from the air taking into consideration the approach lanes, and the elevation of the inbound traffic.

For use by personnel on site the key factors are line of sight, and the primary location of a possible incident in relationship to the designated areas of reasonable safety. In other words, "Where did it happen, where am I going to go, and can I see the wind on the way'. One unit should be visible by workers when using an exit. The Wind Tracker can be seen up to 1/4 mile away but obstructions along the evacuation route may necessitate the need for one or more additional units.
