Tagging 101: Your Primer on Safety Tags

September 11, 2012
Safety Tags

Attach safety tags to your machinery and equipment to warn your employees of possible dangers.

In September 2010, Kelly Dean Caudill was repairing a conveyor for an Indiana-based auto glass plant. Suddenly, a nearby air cylinder activated, squashing Caudill with tons of pressure. He died later at a hospital.

Avoid such a tragedy in your company by using safety tags. Tags convey important information, thereby keeping your employees wary of possible hazards. Aside from being clear, concise and durable, your tags should comply with government standards. Explore the different types of safety tags and choose the ones that cater to your needs. (more…)

Lockout/Tagout Program: An Essential Part of Facility Safety (Part 2)

August 16, 2012

In part one of this article, we defined what a lockout/tagout program is and why it’s required. In this part, we’ll discuss some essentials in formulating a program for your facility.

What do I need to formulate a lockout/tagout program for my facility? 

Brady® Oversized Breaker Lock-Out with Label

A Breaker Lock-Out prevents accidental power ups during maintenance.

It may be tempting to think that because it’s government (i.e. OSHA) mandated, a lockout/tagout program for one facility will work for another. This is not true.

Always remember that conditions vary from one facility to another, even within the same industry.

Because of this, it’s important to conduct a survey of your facility, noting the different machines and processes in place. With this basic information in hand, you can now create a program that best suits your facility. (more…)

Lockout Tag

A lockout tag warns employees not to operate a certain machine or equipment.

Have you ever heard of workers getting electrocuted while repairing factory machines? How about employees getting their hands crushed when a jammed conveyor suddenly releases? You can prevent these accidents in your workplace if you’ll implement an efficient lockout/tagout procedure. (more…)

Pipe & Valve Replacement

March 10, 2011

Building regulations have forced facilities and homes to stop allowing polybutylene pipes for water supply lines from being installed.   But what do you do if you already have these pipes and you have a faulty shut-off valve? According to eHow.com  the valve can be cut off the line and replaced with a CPVC shut-off valve. The CPVC pipe attaches to each side of the vale, which in turn connects to the polybutylene pipe with adaptor couplings. For instructions visit ehow

Once you’ve fixed your valves it’s critical to mark all your pipes.  Almost every industrial and commercial piping system contains hazardous fluids and gases, and their release can cause severe personal injuries or property damage.
