If you're looking for a label that will allow you to efficiently track your assets. Asset tags help to minimise the risk that your property will be stolen or lost. High-value items such as electrical appliances, tools and computers will be assigned a unique serial number, or barcode, and marked accordingly using a label or tag. They allow you to collect a database of your assets - so, when one of you assets goes missing, you can identify the exact asset that has gone missing. Also, if the database is efficiently managed, you may even be able to detect the last known whereabouts of the object, and who was the last oerson to use the item. Asset tags will also help with the police's investigation if your asset has been stolen. Asset tags make your stolen item identifiable, making it easier to track down!

Here at Label Source we sell a huge range of Asset Tags and Serial Numbering Labels - but if you're looking to create your very own asset tags, we offer a Custom Asset Tag Builder that will allow you to create your very own unique asset tag. Here's how to create your own tag:

Asset tags can be used for a number of applications, providing a useful system for keeping track of equipment in a secure fashion. These tags should be clear and durable, with these qualities being even more important when it comes to asset tags for outdoor equipment, which need to be able to withstand the elements in order to reliably perform their function.

Here at Label Source, we supply a selection of asset tagging products, many of which are carefully designed to be suitable for outdoor equipment and tools. These are available in a variety of designs, allowing you to select a tag which suits your practical requirements while also being able to withstand the elements.

Here are just some of our asset tags for outdoor equipment: 

Equipment Identification Markers

 These letter and number stickers are ideal for marking items such as pipework, drains, plant, vehicles and more. In addition to being waterproof, abrasion and chemical resistant, these markers are also available in a choice of three sizes, depending on your marking needs.

Jumbo-Sized Asset Labels

For those who require large asset tags, but would like to present the information on one sticker, these jumbo-sized stickers are an ideal choice. Not only do they provide a high level of visibility, they also have an operating temperature of -30°C to +90°C while being resitant to water and chemicals, making them ideal for outdoor use.

Dual Asset Labels

If you're looking for asset tags for outdoor equipment that will make it easier to keep track of your items, these dual labels are an ideal choice. The tags come in two parts, allowing you to keep one for your records, while you use the other to mark the item in question. They are available in either a self-adhesive vinyl (-30°C to +90°C) or tamperpoof vinyl (-50°C to +110°C), depending on the level of security you need.

Earlier this week, The Co-op were fined £400,000 after pleading guilty to a Health and Safety offence, which resulted in the death of 74 year-old Stanley May in July 2015. May had been visiting the Supermarket's Truro branch, where a faulty chiller was leaking for 44 hours, causing the pensioner to fall and sustain a head injury which led to his death.

Although this example is one of many health and safety prosecutions to be made in recent weeks, this case is all the more tragic and concerning due to it's highly preventable nature. In all public spaces and work areas, it is important to remember that slips, trips and falls are one of the most common hazards to impact both employees and members of the public. It seems that due to the domestic nature of these incidents, their seriousness is often underestimated by organisations, causing health and safety standards to fall below the required level and allowing incidents to occur.

This case demonstrates that slips, trips and falls can be fatal to those who are put at risk, which highlights the vital need to maintain and execute health and safety measures which prevent these incidents. This can be done by correctly following a set of simple but effective health and safety measures, including the following:

• Training & Communication - Staff should be kept well informed of health and safety measures, and should always communicate the need for action when additional measures are needed to maintain standards.

• Maintenance of Equipment - A contributing factor in this case was the faulty store equipment, which had been unsuccessfully fixed and left to cause the hazard which led to Mr May's death. It is vital that all equipment is efficiently maintained and inspected to prevent such hazards, and effectively dealt when a potential risk is detected.

• Clear Warnings - Although a wet floor sign had been placed near the leaking chiller, the effected area extended beyond this point, rendering the warning ineffective. In addition to using the proper safety signage, more steps should be taken when to deal with the issue, including restricting access to the area completely if the hazard cannot be controlled with visual warnings alone.
