Custom Do Not Operate Tags
Do Not Operate tags help alert personnel about non-routine or maintenance work being performed on equipment and machinery. They can also inform employees about why the equipment should not be used and how long it has been non-operational. Tagging is required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in these instances and must comply with certain specifications, designs, applications and use of accident prevention tags.
Stock Do Not Operate tags frequently contain vague fields and don’t include critical safety and procedural information. They are also often made of subpar materials that don’t hold up in most working conditions. All of these factors can lead to unexpected issues and liability concerns for businesses. Our Do Not Operate tags are made from durable materials to withstand almost any condition – chemicals, grease, moisture, operational abuse, extreme temperatures, weathering, etc.
