Tamper Proof Tags
Frequently asked questions
How do tamperproof tags work?
Our tamperproof tags feature a protective plastic shield with adhesive backing that seals over the written information, preventing anyone from changing or altering the details once applied. This design shows visible evidence if someone attempts to remove, alter, or tamper with the tag. The plastic shield creates a permanent seal that cannot be lifted without obvious damage. Some of our tamperproof tag ranges also include sequential numbering for tracking and accountability. These features ensure you maintain control over critical safety information and prevent unauthorised equipment use or tag manipulation, which is essential for lockout tagout procedures and compliance documentation.
When should I use tamperproof tags?
Use our tamperproof tags whenever unauthorised removal could create serious safety risks or compliance issues. Our tamperproof tags suit high value equipment where misuse is a concern, multi contractor sites where accountability is crucial, and regulatory compliance documentation requiring audit trails. They are particularly important in mining, electrical work, heavy manufacturing, and situations where removing a tag could endanger lives or breach legal requirements.
How do I attach your tamperproof tags securely?
Our tamperproof tags attach using several methods depending on the specific product design. Our tamperproof tags feature a 8mm metal eyeletted hole, suitable for padlocks for lockout tagout applications, combining physical isolation with tag attachment. For maximum security, use stainless steel wire or cable ties from our accessories range rather than string. Attach tags where they are highly visible but protected from accidental damage, and ensure the attachment method itself is difficult to defeat.
Can your tamperproof tags be removed and reused?
No, our tamperproof tags are specifically designed for single use only and cannot be removed intact or reused. The protective plastic shield permanently seals the information and attempting to remove it results in visible damage that makes the tag unusable. This single use design is intentional as it creates an audit trail and prevents unauthorised tag transfers between different equipment or situations. Once work is completed and equipment is safe to operate, authorised personnel remove and destroy our tamperproof tag, then document the removal. For situations requiring reusable tags, consider our heavy duty tags with secure attachment methods instead.
Do your tamperproof tags meet Australian safety standards?
Yes, our tamperproof tags meet relevant Australian standards for lockout tagout procedures and workplace safety requirements. They comply with AS 4024 series standards for safeguarding machinery, which requires tags that prevent unauthorised removal during maintenance. Our tamperproof electrical tags align with AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules and AS/NZS 3012 electrical installation standards. The tags clearly display danger or caution information, withstand workplace conditions, and remain legible throughout their use. Our tamperproof tags provide adequate tamper evidence for your compliance needs whilst meeting Australian standards relevant to your industry.
