Do Not Switch On - Double Sided Safety Tag (Pack of 10) - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

A critical safety device used in workplaces to prevent accidental energising of machinery, electrical equipment, or systems while maintenance, inspection, or repair work is being carried out. The tag clearly communicates that equipment should not be switched on, protecting workers from electrical shocks, mechanical injuries, or other hazards that can occur if machinery is unexpectedly activated. Its double-sided design ensures visibility from multiple angles, increasing the effectiveness of the warning.

The primary reason for using this tag is to protect personnel from harm during maintenance or repair operations. Accidental energisation of equipment can cause severe injuries, fatalities, or significant damage to machinery. By placing a highly visible "Do Not Switch On” tag, workers signal to all colleagues and supervisors that a piece of equipment is unsafe to operate, reducing human error and preventing dangerous incidents.

These tags also support safety protocols and lockout/tagout procedures, which are standard practices in industrial, electrical, and manufacturing settings. They help enforce a clear chain of responsibility and ensure that only authorised personnel remove the tag and restore power or operation. This formal communication prevents miscommunication and strengthens overall workplace safety culture.

The Do Not Switch On - Double Sided Safety Tag is typically used in factories, electrical rooms, construction sites, maintenance areas, laboratories, and anywhere machinery or electrical systems are serviced. It is applied directly to the equipment or control switches being worked on, ensuring it is visible to anyone approaching from either side. In these locations, the tag acts as a constant visual reminder, preventing accidental activation and keeping workers safe while maintenance tasks are performed.
