Lock Out Tags

Description

Keep Employees Informed of Hazardous Work Conditions.

As part of a Lock Out / Tag Out (LOTO) safety program, these outdoor durable tags can be affixed to a locked device to inform workers that the device should not be turned on—this makes them great with high-voltage devices. The self-laminating flap lets you add information, permanently seal it, and protect it from chemical and other environmental conditions.

Customize Tags with Important Company Information.

These Lock Out safety tags are fully customizable upon request. Print tags with the message you want for each type of equipment. Just specify tag size, color, images, and logos. 

Lock Out Tags can be printed on one or both sides and include additional features such as serial numbers, reinforced grommets, durable self-laminating flaps, or cable ties. Additionally, the text can be printed in English and/or Spanish.

The Benefits and Importance of Lock Out Tags

Protect Your Employees

As mentioned previously, lock out tags play a key role in protecting employees by clearly indicating that machinery is temporarily out of service. These tags provide a hard-to-miss visible warning that prevents accidental operation, which could otherwise lead to severe injuries or fatalities.

When machinery is undergoing maintenance or repairs, workers can confidently perform their tasks without the risk of unexpected start-ups. Proper use of lock out tags fosters a greater culture of safety and helps employees feel secure in their work environment. Additionally, regular review of lock out procedures can further improve workplace safety by identifying potential gaps or improvements.

Reduce Hazardous Energy Risks

Using lockout tags is an effective way to control hazardous energy and minimize the potential for dangerous incidents. Equipment powered by electricity, hydraulics, or other energy sources can pose serious threats if not properly isolated during servicing. 

Lock out tags serve as a physical reminder that energy sources have been disconnected, reducing the likelihood of unexpected releases. In many situations, workers might find themselves exposed to hazardous conditions without proper safeguards in place. By applying these tags correctly, businesses can significantly lower the chances of accidents that result from exposure to high-voltage currents, pressurized systems, or mechanical movements.

Maintain OSHA Compliance

Following established lockout tag procedures helps organizations meet regulatory standards set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). On top of protecting the lives and well-being of employees, compliance with these regulations is essential for avoiding costly fines and legal issues that arise from workplace safety violations. 

Lock out tags serve as a critical component of an effective energy control program, demonstrating a company’s commitment to following required safety protocols. Companies that prioritize compliance not only protect workers but also strengthen their reputation by making safe operations a priority. With the LOTO safety program, businesses can have a structured approach to risk management and regulatory adherence.
