Doylestown, PA -- (SBWire) -- 12/03/2015 --Many workplaces, such as manufacturing facilities or utility companies, must control the potential hazardous energy of machines and equipment that could harm employees upon an unexpected energization or start-up. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that workplaces have lockout/tagout procedures and labeling in place to ensure that employees are adequately warned of risks and avoid accidents.
LEM Products, Inc., a manufacturer of safety labeling products that help workplaces keep employees safe and remain OSHA compliant, is proud to offer lock out tag out labels that meet OSHA regulations. For the benefit of their customers, they have the regulations regarding lockout/tagout labels and identified the ways in which their products meet them.
OSHA requires that all lockout/tagout tags must be able to withstand the environment they are placed in for the maximum period of exposure, including environments with wet or damp weather and corrosive environments where acidic or alkali chemicals are used. The tags' means of attachment must be sturdy enough that there is no risk of accidental detachment, and OSHA specifies that they must be self-locking and incapable of detaching under pressure less than 50 pounds. Finally, OSHA requires that lockout/tagout tags are uniform in color, size, shape or type format, and that they are legible and understood by all facility personnel.
LEM Products, Inc. has designed all of its lockout/tagout tags to thoroughly meet these standards. Their tags are made with 15 mil PVC that withstands harsh environments, and only uses inks that will not wash away with normal use. Their tags are also available with self-laminating covers for extra durability. Accidental detachment is prevented with the tags' standard self-locking nylon ties and 7/16" diameter metal reinforced mounting holes. Finally, LEM Products, Inc. offers both stock and customized labels with clear, legible warnings and optional multi-lingual formats.
