Lockout / Tagout Warning Signs

Lock Out LabelLockout/Tagout signs protect against the unexpected energization or start up of machines and equipment that could injure employees during service or maintenance.

Lockout signs and labels describe how to render machines and equipment inoperative.

Tagouts are used when equipment is incapable of being shut down. Tagouts indicate that the equipment being controlled may not be operated until the tagout device is removed

According to OSHA, both lockout and tagout signs need to be standardized within the facility by either color, shape or size.

In the case of tagouts, the printing and format need to be standardized and include warnings about hazardous conditions if the machine or equipment is energized. They also need include a legend such as: "Do Not Start. Do Not Open. Do Not Close. Do Not Energize. Do Not Operate."

Lockout Tagout Signs

Because lockout/tagout signs and labels need to be tough enough to withstand their environments without wearing or eroding, label supplies should be of the highest quality and durability. Look to the PowerMark or the Brady Globalmark for heavy-duty labeling tapes that won't let you down.
