Looking to establish if there is a standard/protocol for demarcation of pedestrian walkways around a workshop.
I'm famialiar with BS5499 and the colours for manadatory (blue) and safe (green) conditions and that these are sometimes utilised as the colour of a pedestrian routes depending on whether they are means of escape, etc. I also know that the standard also prescribes the use of the yellow/black 45 deg lines around hazards/obstacles. However, I'm not aware of a particular standard/protocol governing the actual marking of routes.
Had a look at HSE's 'WPT' series of guidance but can't see anything specific.
Any advice appreciated.

I'm not aware of any standard or guidance, but it's usual to make them yellow.

Yellow for us too - stands out against background of the grey floor.

I presume you saw http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/wpt16.pdf - Pedestrians - thought this is more related to segregation of people from traffic, I dont know if you have FLT's in your work shop, does provide general guidance though.
