Safety & Warning Tags
LEM manufactures a complete line of safety tags and warning tags in the form of plastic safety tags, self-laminating safety tags, and durable safety tags that meet all applicable OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) and ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standards. These safety tags draw attention to potentially dangerous or abnormal situations in your plant, such as High Voltage or Confined Space. Safety tags with highly visible printed headers (DANGER – CAUTION – NOTICE) are effective both indoors and outdoors. These safety tags provide the necessary accident prevention information on a durable safety/warning tag.
Safety Tags, Warning Tags, Danger Tags
Power generation facilities contain a vast amount of machinery and equipment requiring monitoring and routine maintenance. Safety precautions and procedures are critical in these facilities to alert the workforce about unusual conditions, special operating instructions, and information on the condition of lines and equipment. Safety tags, which include danger tags, warning tags, accident prevention tags, scaffold tags, and equipment tags, are important tools for providing effective warnings of potential dangers and hazards. All of LEM’s Safety Tag products meet applicable OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) and ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standards. These tags alert to potentially dangerous or abnormal situations such as High Voltage or Confined Space using clearly visible printed headers denoting DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, and NOTICE. LEM vinyl safety and warning tags withstand moisture, dirt, and grease and can be written on with a pencil, ballpoint pen, or permanent marker.
LEM's Safety Tags are available with many options:
Self-sealing polyester covers: These covers will permanently protect information and allow you to apply photos and personalized specific information for lock-out tag-out, compliance, accident prevention, regulatory compliance, and safety. These covers make the tags weather-resistant, water-proof, and tamper-proof.
Carbon set tags: These tags provide instant on-the-spot copies for record keeping of field information during inspections. Once the carbon copy is removed, the tag can be sealed with the self-laminating polyester cover, and the information will become permanent.
Grommets: Safety tags have either a metal grommet or a plastic, non-conductive and non-corrosive grommet. Both styles provide a secure attachment point withstanding 50 – 80 lbs. of pull force. This durable construction will prevent unauthorized removal of the tags to maintain a permanent display of critical safety and regulatory information.
Carbon Set Tags
LEM Safety Tags with carbon sets make inspection easier to correct deficiencies at hand, as well as provide carbon sets for simple record keeping. These industrial safety tags are made to meet your specific design and contain your defined information. These regulatory compliance tags are durable tags that are available for Chemical Safety, Industrial, Accident Prevention, Lock-Out Tag-Out, and all tags requiring DANGER, CAUTION, and NOTICE headers. Once this durable safety tag is self-laminated, the information is tamper-proof and permanent. Simply remove the carbon sets prior to self-laminating the safety tag. Use these safety tags to mark bottles, drums, or containers with hazard information.
A carbon set safety tag is the ideal non-compliance tag and inspection tag. This safety tag provides carbon copies for easy record-keeping. Write-on safety tags, warning tags, and other specialty safety tags (such as vehicle hang tags) are available in Tyvek™ and write-on vinyl. These safety tags will accept marker pens, ballpoint pens, and pencils. The write-on surface is durable and moisture-proof. This write-on vinyl tag may be re-used when a grease pencil is used to apply the information.
Self-Laminating Tags
Danger Tags, Caution Tags, and Notice Self-laminating Tags provide a self-sealing polyester cover that will permanently protect information and allow you to apply photos and other exact information for lock-out tag-out, compliance, accident prevention, regulatory compliance, and safety. Once this durable industrial danger tag is self-laminated, the information is tamper-proof and permanent. Use these danger tags to mark for Confined Space, Danger, Caution, Compliance, accident prevention, lock-out tag-out, and to mark bottles, drums or containers with hazard information.
Scaffold Tags
Scaffold tags function like a combination of an accident prevention tag and an inspection tag. 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.
LEM’s scaffold tags are self-laminating, which allows the opportunity to add variable information to the pre-printed tag and then seal and protect that information under a polyester cover. The tags are weather-proof, moisture-resistant, and tamper-proof (the information cannot be altered once the tag is sealed).
Tags are rigid 0.010” plastic hanging tags with self-laminating clear polyester covers. The tag comes standard with a 0.25” metal eyelet.
Scaffold tags are also available as an adhesive-backed tag, made of 4 mil pressure-sensitive adhesive vinyl with a front self-laminating clear polyester cover. They are suitable for a wide temperature range of -50 F to 175 F. These tags are moisture-resistant and have excellent adhesion when applied to clean, dry surfaces.

Answering Your Critical Questions About Our Accident Prevention Tags
What Makes LEM Products’ Safety Tags Different?
Our safety tags are more than just standard warning systems. We offer products that display the visual impact and clarity required by ANSI Z535 Guidelines. Unlike generic warning signs, our tags provide immediate context, helping workers quickly assess potential risks and take appropriate action.
How Do Biological Hazard Tags Prevent Workplace Accidents?
Biological hazard tags are critical for environments with complex risk profiles. Our tags offer quality and advanced symbol configurations that instantly communicate the nature and severity of potential biological threats. These clear, immediate visual cues help workers recognize and mitigate risks before they become serious incidents.
Can Safety Signs Really Reduce Workplace Injuries?
Absolutely. Strategic placement of accident prevention signs can dramatically reduce workplace injuries. Studies consistently show that clear, prominent safety signage reduces incident rates by almost 1/3. Our tags are designed to catch attention, convey critical information, and prompt immediate protective responses.
What Industries Benefit Most from Advanced Safety Tags?
While all industries benefit from robust safety communication, high-risk sectors like healthcare, manufacturing, chemical processing, and research laboratories see the most significant impact. These environments face complex hazardous biological agents and require precision communication tools. (Related: See the industries we serve by clicking here.)
How Often Should Safety Tags Be Updated or Replaced?
Tags should be used and maintained until the hazard is removed or if the environmental conditions have changed. We recommend tag reviews immediately after workplace configuration changes, or after a set period (every fiscal quarter, every 6 months, etc.). Environmental factors, wear and tear, and evolving safety standards demand ongoing attention to keep your safety communication systems sharp and effective.
