Safety Signs, Tags and Lockout for Hazard Communication
Safety signs, tags and lockout cover the hazard communication and energy-control products a facility uses to meet OSHA and ANSI requirements.

Lockout/Tagout Program Support
Lockout/tagout products support the energy-control procedures a facility follows during equipment service and maintenance. Safety padlocks are stocked keyed-different for individual assignment and keyed-alike for standardized groups, and group hasps let several workers apply locks to one isolation point. Device kits cover valve, breaker, plug and cable isolation with matching Do Not Operate tags. Signage and pipe markers follow ANSI Z535 and ASME formats for consistent color and header wording. Products are described by format and standard, and application follows each facility written safety program.
Signage and lockout devices are a mix of one-time installation and recurring replacement as tags wear, locks are reassigned and areas are relabeled. Standardizing on padlock keying schemes and sign formats across a facility keeps a lockout/tagout program auditable and reduces SKU sprawl, which helps materials management maintain a consistent compliance stock.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a safety sign and an accident-prevention tag?
A safety sign is a durable posted item that communicates a standing hazard or instruction in ANSI Z535 format on plastic, aluminum or adhesive vinyl. An accident-prevention tag is a temporary label, such as Do Not Operate or Out of Service, attached to equipment to show a changing status during maintenance or inspection. Signs stay posted; tags are applied and removed as conditions change.
What is the difference between keyed-different and keyed-alike lockout padlocks?
Keyed-different padlocks each open with their own key and are assigned to individual workers so no one else can remove a lock. Keyed-alike padlocks share a common key for a group or area where a single keying scheme is standardized. Facilities stock both, along with group lockout hasps that let several workers apply locks to one isolation point, to match their written lockout/tagout procedure.
What lockout devices are stocked?
The catalog stocks valve lockouts for gate and ball valves, circuit breaker and plug lockouts for electrical isolation, cable lockouts for multi-point isolation, group hasps and lockout stations, plus Do Not Operate tags. Ready-to-use kits combine common devices and tags. Brands include Master Lock and Brady. Devices are stocked individually and in program kits.
Can facilities order safety signs, tags and lockout devices in bulk?
Yes. Safety signs, pipe markers, tags, padlocks, hasps and lockout kits are stocked in case and multipack quantities for hospitals, laboratories, plant operations, facilities departments and licensed distributors. Standing order programs are available for recurring items such as tags and standardized padlocks. Contact our procurement team for tiered case pricing and standing order setup.
What signs, tags and lockout products should be in a facility formulary?
A hazard communication formulary, or standardized safety stock list, typically covers a core set of Danger, Warning and Caution signs, pipe markers and arc flash labels, Do Not Operate and Out of Service tags, keyed-different safety padlocks with group hasps, and valve, breaker and plug lockout devices in a program kit.
