Visual tagging solutions
Think about any item of equipment on your site:
-
How do you know it is fit for use?
-
When was it last inspected?
-
How do you identify it among the hundreds of similar items on site?
Without the latest information, people are prone to make assumptions. And assumptions can lead to potentially damaging decisions for both them and your business. The identity, maintenance and inspection status of equipment is therefore critical.
What are visual tags?
Visual tags typically comprise of 2 components: holder and insert. Holder is attached to the equipment being tagged. Insert is placed in the holder and is used to record and display the latest equipment status.
Visual tags help:
-
Communicate the latest equipment inspection and test status clearly at the point of use,
-
record and audit trail of recent equipment maintenance, tests, and inspections,
-
uniquely identify equipment,
-
comply with Health and Safety legislation,
-
reduce accidents in the workplace.
Holder and insert work together in looped process:
-
Attach: The empty holder displays “DON NOT USE…” symbol and is attached to equipment.
-
Inspect: Equipment is inspected periodically and the results recorded on the insert.
-
Insert: If the equipment passes inspection, then the insert is placed in the holder, displaying the latest equipment information to any users. If equipment fails inspection at any point, then simply remove the insert from the holder to display the “DO NOT USE…” sign.
