Safety Tags - Prohibition Safety

Safety Tags - Prohibition Safety by Caledonia Signs - Trade Only Supplier

Prohibition safety tags are essential for clearly communicating that specific actions, equipment use, or entry is strictly forbidden for safety reasons. Often used in workplaces with machinery, electrical systems, or restricted zones, these tags act as a direct warning to prevent behaviours that could result in injury, damage, or legal violations. Unlike fixed signs, safety tags are temporary and can be placed directly on equipment or in specific areas where immediate hazards exist.

One of the key advantages of prohibition safety tags is their flexibility and visibility during maintenance or operational work. For example, a tag reading “Do Not Operate” or “Do Not Enter” can be attached directly to a machine under repair, alerting all staff to the risk and preventing accidental use. This helps avoid misunderstandings, especially in environments where multiple teams or shifts are involved.

Prohibition tags also support compliance with workplace safety regulations, particularly in lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures. They serve as a physical and visual indication that equipment must not be used until it is safe, reinforcing proper protocols and reducing the risk of workplace accidents. Using these tags correctly is not only a best practice but often a legal requirement in many industries.

Finally, prohibition safety tags promote a strong safety culture by empowering workers to take proactive steps in risk prevention. When employees see these tags in place, they understand that serious attention is being given to potential hazards. This fosters a workplace mindset where caution and compliance are normalised, helping to prevent incidents and ensure everyone’s wellbeing.

Why get safety signs printed by Caledonia Signs?

Why get safety signs printed by Caledonia Signs?

1. Regulatory Compliance One of the primary reasons to have safety signs professionally printed is to ensure compliance with UK laws. The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 require that specific safety signs be used in workplaces to prevent accidents and injuries. Caledonia Signs understand these requirements and ensure your signs meet legal standards, including adherence to the BS EN ISO 7010 format for safety symbols. Adhering to the BS EN ISO 7010 format is crucial because it ensures safety signs are universally recognised and understood. The standard uses clearly defined symbols that have been tested for visibility and comprehension, making them effective even in high-stress situations or for individuals who do not speak the local language. This helps prevent accidents by enabling quick and correct responses to potential hazards. Many "pop up printers" don't fully understand the importance of ISO 7010. From a legal standpoint, compliance with ISO 7...>>> READ MORE >>>
