Why a Windsock?
By placing windsocks in noticeable locations, workers become more safety aware when approaching your work site. This also enhances their ability to carry out the Emergency Response effectively.
Having windsocks on-site helps to conform to regulatory requirements like Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) guidelines. Regulatory requirements specify “Three Dimensional Wind Direction Indicators”.

General Information
Roc Tan offers nylon or polyester material. (Polyester has very low static electricity compared to nylon). Our polyester is light weight to provide sensitivity in the slightest of breezes. Our nylon, in various colors, is a slightly heavier material. We have tested materials and dyes in the laboratory to ensure that our mill material gives the best possible color fastness and strength.
Polyester socks are available in Caution Yellow (CY), Danger Red (DR), or Flash Orange (FO) colors.
Nylon socks are available in Yellow (Y), Red (R), Green (G), Blue (B), Orange (O) or in White (W) colors.
