Often, chemicals from a supplier are transferred from their original container to another storage device called a “secondary container.” Workers expect original chemical containers to be marked with OSHA-compliant labeling but struggle to understand whether secondary containers should be labeled.

Electricity powers our lives. Without it, many of us couldn’t enjoy our morning coffee, fulfill our work responsibilities, place an order at the convenience store, or enjoy many of the other facets of the everyday. Without electricity, many industries would be crippled back to the eras of the Dark Ages. However, electricity is a powerful elemental force. Its use requires essential safety considerations to be made at home, on the road, and in the workplace. Which is why we have Electrical Safety Month.

At LEM Products, Inc., one of the core tenants of our business is providing easy-to-read and compliant safety signage, labels, and tags. The National Safety Council highlights Ladder Safety Month during March, which is an excellent opportunity to familiarize yourself with our robust line of safety tags including, Ladder Inspection Tags, Scaffolding Tags, and other necessary safety signage formatted to ANSI and OSHA standards.
At LEM Products, Inc., we understand the importance of keeping your workplace safe and hazard-free.
We offer a variety of safety label options with maximum durability, including:
Our ladder inspection tags are part of our suite of accident prevention tags.
Key features of our ladder inspection tags include:
Our safety tags come with a durability rating of about five years. They meet all applicable safety codes for OSHA accident prevention and the ANSI standards for color and design.
Scaffold tags function in a similar way to ladder inspection tags with the addition of accident prevention language. They warn of the status of erected scaffolding: whether it is in the process of being erected or dismantled, and if it complies with building codes. It also advises workers whether or not the scaffold is safe to climb. Like ladder inspection tags, LEM”s scaffold tags are self-laminating, weather-proof, moisture resistant, and tamper-proof.

Since 1994, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day has been celebrated with AmeriCorps as a national day of service. Every year on the third Monday in January, the federal government celebrates the holiday by halting postal service, trash collection, and various other government happenings. Some companies, businesses, and organizations follow suit with incentive programs to help their employees get involved in the efforts. This year, LEM Products, Inc. participated by making our contribution to Global Citizen 365’s free COVID-19 testing site at Girard College.
Americorps has proudly dubbed MLK Day “a day on, not a day off” in an effort to increase participation in the national day of service. The expressed goal of the initiative is to strengthen and facilitate community building and improvement efforts.
Though MLK Day National Day of Service is a federal holiday, The Greater Philadelphia Martin Luther King Day of Service is among the largest service projects in the nation. Partnered with Global Citizen 365, The Greater Philadelphia MLK Day project spurs initiatives in the Philadelphia area year-round.
This year, the pandemic brings a unique opportunity to service our community. As Philadelphia deals with the long term consequences of global pandemic, varying states of lockdown, and the urgency to provide relief, Global Citizen 365 has seen it imperative to provide free testing to Philadelphians at Girard College.
Our contribution to this effort is freely supplying stickers and decals to the event. Working directly with the Black Doctors COVID-19 Consortium, Global Citizen 365’s signature event is a massive leap forward toward the accessibility of COVID-19 testing in Philadelphia.
Our labels are a direct nod to the Black doctors that make Philadelphia great, the devastating effect of Covid-19’s legacy, and the importance of moving forward with hope in mind. Global Citizen 365 provided us with images of Black doctors that have made history, as well as some of the organizations involved with this event.
The decals featured the Black doctors and Black Americans who have contributed to medical advancements worldwide. To name a few of the notable individuals featured on labels, Dr. Ala Stanford is the founder of the Black Doctors COVID-19 Consortium, and she was recently awarded the Harris Wofford Citizenship work for her ongoing contributions to Philadelphia’s struggle with the pandemic.
Other individuals featured on the decals will include:
LEM Products, Inc. hopes to continue to raise the industry standard of what it means to be a part of our community and continually ask ourselves, what can we do to contribute? For years now, we have made it our mission to explore the way we do business, including but not limited to our recent partnership with Tons of Turkeys and our ongoing commitment to sustainability.
If you, your business, or your initiative is in need of high-quality, durable safety labels, decals, and more, contact us today so we can learn more about how we can help your business.
At LEM Products, Inc., we are committed to giving back to our local community. This year, with so many of our neighbors struggling in these challenging times, taking the opportunity to spread some holiday cheer is more important than ever. Which is why LEM is supporting local charity in 2020.
Typically, during the week of Thanksgiving, our team would normally hold a holiday luncheon. However, in order to continue to practice social distancing, we did something a little different this year. Instead, we held a silent auction that focused on holiday gifts. Not only did our staff get to bid on some toys and get a jump start on their holiday shopping, but all of the proceeds from the auction were donated to the local organization, Tons of Turkeys.
Tons of Turkeys, as suggested by their name, has a mission to donate turkeys to underprivileged families, so that they can enjoy a true holiday feast. The Warther family began this tradition of donating turkeys in 2009, when they brought 100 turkeys to Philadbundance, the largest hunger relief organization in the Delaware Valley. This year, their goal was to donate 4,000 turkeys to local charities in the Philadelphia and Chester County areas and feed just as many families. We hope that our contribution was able to help them accomplish their mission.
The turkey is the star of any Thanksgiving meal. More than just feeding families, it also represents a sense of normalcy in a year that has been anything but.
After our silent auction concluded, there were still some toys remaining. Our landlord, Nappen & Associates, decided that they wanted to contribute to our spirit of giving this holiday season, and they are running a collection drive for Toys for Tots. Our team sent the leftover toys to their drive so that they can help spread some cheer to the children in our community.
This whirlwind of a year is just about to come to a close, and we are grateful that we are able to continue to support both our local community and businesses across the country. Whether you need custom safety labels or social distancing signage, LEM is ready to help. Contact us today to learn more.
Quality control, or QC, is integral to many industries, including healthcare, manufacturing, and distribution. Having a QC process in place ensures that your final product will always meet or exceed the expectations of your customers. It also maximizes efficiency and reduces waste. For businesses that practice Six Sigma or Lean, having clearly defined quality control processes is essential. For many companies, a part of their QC process involves using quality control labels to clearly mark the status of something. LEM Products, Inc. manufactures quality control labels that meet a range of different needs for your organization.
LEM has a variety of different quality control labels with preprinted legends, including:
Many of our labels have features that meet your needs, including:
You can purchase a variety of standard quality control labels from our website. If you require a custom QC label for your application, contact us today for more information.
July is the peak of summer, when many of us are outdoors enjoying the warm weather and soaking up plenty of sunshine. And getting some sun is good for you — it improves your body’s vitamin D production and may also help you feel happier and fight depression. While the sun provides many benefits, it is important to be mindful of its dangers, as well. Ultraviolet, or UV, radiation can be harmful for people, which is why we wear sunscreen. But the sun’s rays can have adverse effects on other things, as well.
At LEM Products, Inc., we also know the importance of UV protection in the printing process of industrial identification. In honor of July as UV Safety Month, we answer a few common questions about how the sun impacts safety signs, tags, and labels.
All color absorbs wide spectrum light from the sun. That’s because the light from the sun is polychromatic, which means that it consists of both all visible wavelengths of light, as well as those colors that are not visible to the human eye. One of these types of light that is not visible is ultraviolet. These wavelengths of light are one of the leading causes of fading, as they can break down the chemical bonds in ink and begin to fade the color on a sign.
Red fades faster than other colors because it absorbs more UV light than other colors. Ultraviolet waves are short and high energy, while red wavelengths are on the other end of the spectrum and are longer, with less energy. Because red pigments are absorbing more of the destructive UV light, they will degrade more quickly.
We offer numerous options for signs that need to withstand harsh environments to help protect your signs and extend their lifespan. UV ink is denser than regular ink, and it produces sharper images that add durability and fade resistance to printed images. Over-laminating with UV laminate can also provide protection and decrease fading over time.
UV protection for labels, signage, and nameplates has numerous applications, including:
Contact LEM Products, Inc. today to learn more about safety signage products that can withstand years of UV light exposure for your specific application.
