In an ideal world, the workplace would be hazard-free and safe from potential injuries and accidents.
The truth is, however, many industrial operations involve a certain amount of risk that can’t be controlled through engineering measures, administrative controls, or personal protective equipment.
For decades, environmental, health and safety professionals have preached the value of placing hazard-alerting safety signs in certain areas and situations. In fact, as early as 1914, the word “danger” and arrow signs were used to point to workplace hazards.
Today’s signs embody the latest research, proper risk level signal words and U.S. court-driven principles that define the content of a proper warning.
Client Question:We have printed a tag application to be fastened by standard zip tie. The fastened tag is then exposed to extreme stress and force may be applied to the fastening point in particular. Standard tag material has ripped in this application and we are looking for a more durable solution.
There are many materials suitable for printed tag application. For this particular circumstance, I would recommend a polyester material that is designed to be tear-resistant. We can also add a metal grommet to the finished product to assure reinforcement of the fastening hole.
