Lockout/Tagout Compliance: Why Proper Identification Matters
Key Takeaways:
- Brady energy source labels help clearly identify hazardous energy sources to prevent accidental equipment startups.
- Their durable, industrial-grade construction ensures long-term visibility and performance in harsh environments.
- Standardized labeling supports OSHA compliance, improves audit readiness, and reinforces a proactive safety culture
Clear Identification of Hazardous Energy Sources
These specialized labels provide clear, durable, and legible identification of hazardous energy sources—whether electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, or pneumatic. They serve as a visible warning and instructional aid, helping technicians locate and isolate power sources before work begins. Without this level of clarity, maintenance staff may inadvertently expose themselves to unexpected energy release, leading to serious injury or regulatory violations.
Built for Tough Environments and OSHA Compliance
Brady labels are engineered for high visibility and long-lasting performance in harsh industrial conditions. Made with rugged adhesives and resistant to abrasion, heat, and chemicals, these labels remain readable and intact even in extreme environments. They also support OSHA 1910.147 compliance by standardizing the identification of energy sources with consistent wording, color coding, and pictograms.
A Smart Investment in Safety and Compliance
In addition to promoting worker safety, well-implemented energy source labeling streamlines audits and reduces legal liability. Facilities with clear and consistent labeling demonstrate a proactive safety culture—something both regulators and employees value.
Q Source offers a comprehensive range of Brady energy source labels to fit your specific applications. Explore our selection to help your facility maintain peak safety, efficiency, and compliance.
