Frequently asked questions
How long do safety tags remain valid?
Safety tag validity depends on the tag type and purpose. Test and tag labels are valid for specific periods based on the environment, typically 3 months for construction sites, 6 months for manufacturing, or 12 months for low risk office environments. Lockout tagout tags remain valid until the maintenance work is completed and authorised removal occurs. Inspection tags are valid until the next scheduled inspection date. Defect tags stay in place until repairs are completed and verified. Always check Australian standards and your workplace procedures for specific validity periods. Replace faded, damaged, or illegible tags immediately regardless of the date.
What material are safety tags made from?
Safety tags are made from various materials depending on their intended use. Tearproof tags use synthetic polyethylene that resists tearing and water damage. Card tags are made from heavy duty cardboard with waterproof coatings. Tamperproof tags use special materials that show evidence if removed or altered. Heavy duty tags combine reinforced plastics or laminates for extreme conditions. The material choice affects durability, weather resistance, and longevity. Outdoor tags need UV resistant materials, while indoor tags can use card stock. Quality safety tags withstand harsh Australian conditions including heat, moisture, and rough handling on worksites.
Are safety tags a legal requirement in Australia?
Yes, safety tags are required under Australian workplace health and safety legislation for specific situations. Lockout tagout tags are mandatory when isolating hazardous energy during equipment maintenance. Test and tag labels are legally required for portable electrical equipment in commercial and industrial settings. Scaffold tags must display inspection information and safe working load details. While not all safety tags are legally mandated, they form part of your duty of care obligations to provide a safe workplace. Using appropriate safety tags demonstrates due diligence and helps prevent accidents that could result in prosecution or insurance issues.
What are safety tags and when should they be used?
Safety tags are identification markers that communicate important information about equipment status, hazards, or maintenance requirements. They should be used during equipment repairs, electrical testing, lockout tagout procedures, scaffold inspections, and maintenance work. Safety tags prevent unauthorised equipment use, record testing dates, identify defects, and track work progress. Australian workplaces use safety tags across construction, manufacturing, mining, and facility maintenance to meet safety compliance requirements. Common types include danger tags, caution tags, out of service tags, and inspection record tags.
Can safety tags be customised for specific workplace needs?
Yes, safety tags can be customised to match your specific workplace requirements and branding. Customisation options include adding your company logo, specific wording, unique identification numbers, barcode systems, and colour coding that matches your internal procedures. Custom tags can include specific checkboxes, date fields, or information relevant to your industry. Many businesses create custom lockout tags with employee names, custom scaffold tags with load ratings, or maintenance tags with asset numbers. Customised safety tags improve compliance by making them more relevant and easier for your team to use correctly.
