Here at Label Source, we sell a variety of electrical tags that can be used to keep people safe around potential electrical hazards. You probably see these tags - or tags just like them - every so often, but do you know how they're supposed to be used? Are you aware of any installations in your workplace that ought to be tagged?
In case you're unsure, here are some examples of when and where our electrical tags should be used:
- If service personnel are repairing, maintaing, or otherwise working on a piece of electrical equipment, the machine in question should be labelled with a tag like this one to prevent anyone else from attempting to use it in the meantime. Many workers have been injured and even killed because somebody started a machine that they were in the process of servicing - don't let your employees suffer the same fate!
- Has one of your machines broken down? You may wish to use an Out of Order tag to ensure that everybody knows the score. If somebody attempts to operate a machine while it is out of order, they may end up causing even more problems, so it's best to label any out-of-action equipment right away.
- We don't just sell electrical tags - we can also supply tags to warn of non-electrical hazards such as asbestos, gas, and poison.
These are merely examples; we recommend visiting our Electrical Tags section to browse our full range. We aim to provide a safety tag for every situation, and our tag collection covers everything from general electrical warnings (e.g. High voltage) to specific instructions (e.g. Do not close valve).
