Who is this for

Do not operate — maintenance department card tags are used by maintenance supervisors, plant operators, and safety officers across manufacturing, mining, and construction to communicate department-level authority over equipment under maintenance or repair. The pre-printed maintenance department message supports structured isolation procedures where equipment access must be controlled to a specific work group.

Frequently asked questions

How many tags come in a pack?

All card tags in this range are sold in packs of 100. There is no minimum order beyond a single pack, so smaller teams can order what they need without committing to large quantities. For organisations that go through tags regularly, trade accounts and bulk pricing are available. Getting in touch directly is the best way to discuss pricing that works for your procurement process, particularly if you need multiple tag types across a larger order.

Are card tags suitable for outdoor use or wet conditions?

Card tags are best suited to indoor or sheltered environments. They perform reliably for short to medium term applications in dry conditions, and the smooth surface takes handwriting cleanly with a permanent marker. In outdoor conditions, or anywhere tags are exposed to rain, moisture, or oils, card stock will deteriorate and the printed information can become illegible. For outdoor construction sites, mining environments, or any application where tags need to withstand the elements over a longer period, the self laminating or tearproof tag ranges are a more appropriate choice.

Can I get card tags printed with our company logo or custom message?

Yes, custom printing is available through Brute Safety Products. If the standard pre printed messages do not suit your site procedures, or if you need your company name, logo, or specific wording added to the tag design, the custom safety tags service can accommodate that. The blank card tag (EDT 005) is also a practical option if you need flexibility to handwrite different messages from a single stock. For custom print enquiries, including minimum quantities and turnaround times, contact the team directly through the website.

What types of card safety tags do you stock, and what are they used for?

The card tag range covers the most common workplace isolation and equipment control needs. Available options include Danger and Caution variants with pre printed messages such as Out of Service, Do Not Operate, Do Not Start, Locked Out Do Not Use, Unsafe Do Not Use, and a blank version for custom handwritten warnings. There is also a specific Product Contains Asbestos tag for hazardous material identification. All tags measure 145 x 90 mm and include an attachment hole. They suit indoor maintenance environments, short term equipment isolation, and general site communication where a lightweight, cost effective tag is appropriate.

What is the difference between the red Danger tags and the yellow Caution tags?

The colour coding follows standard Australian workplace safety conventions. Red Danger tags signal an immediate hazard, meaning the equipment must not be operated under any circumstances until the tag is removed by authorised personnel. Yellow Caution tags indicate a lower level risk or a condition that requires care, such as equipment that is out of service pending inspection rather than actively dangerous. Choosing the correct colour matters for compliance and for ensuring workers on site can quickly read the status of a piece of equipment at a glance. If your worksite procedures specify a particular colour for a given situation, follow that specification.
