These Real-Life® self-laminating P/S lockout tags allow you to attach a photograph of the specific person responsible for the lockout. These self-laminated lockout, safety and operational tags also allow you to write specific instructions in pen, pencil or marker. Then simply press down a pressure-sensitive laminating film which protects the tag from moisture, dirt, grease and chemicals. No equipment is needed to laminate these tags. Printing is on rigid plastic and a 2 mil polyester lamination on either one or two sides.

For tagout use, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147(c)(5)(ii)(C)(2) requires a non-reusable, hand-attachable, self-locking and non-releasable attachment with a minimum unlocking strength of 50 pounds. This is an attachment requirement; a tag-body or grommet pull rating alone does not establish compliance.

Railroad blue signal protection

This personalized warning tag provides space for employee identification and written instructions. It is not represented as an FRA-approved blue signal or as a substitute for the blue signal protection required for covered railroad work. 49 CFR Part 218, Subpart B addresses blue signal display and protection; suitability and placement must be determined under the railroad's operating rules and the applicable work conditions.

Blue Flag Railroad Safety Tag - Do Not Remove, Peel and Stick Questions & Answers

Does this tag replace required railroad blue signal protection?

No such claim is made for this tag. A blue-colored warning tag does not by itself establish that the blue signal, placement and protection requirements of 49 CFR Part 218, Subpart B have been met. Follow the railroad's procedures for the work location and use the required signals and protective measures.

Who may remove a displayed blue signal?

49 CFR 218.23(b) assigns removal to the same craft or group that displayed the signal. Apply the railroad's procedures for authorization, communication and completion of the work.

What is the difference between one-sided and two-sided lamination?

Choose the 1-sided option for a pressure-sensitive laminating film on one side, or 2-sided for film on both sides. Complete the information on each side being covered before pressing the film down. No laminating machine is needed.

What outdoor durability is specified?

This listing does not specify a tested outdoor service life, UV rating or temperature range. Confirm suitability for the expected weather, exposure and time in service with Customer Service before outdoor use. Keep the warning and employee information legible and follow the applicable workplace or railroad procedure.

Can I attach the tag with a cable tie?

The tag has a 3/8-inch metal-grommet attachment hole. Choose an attachment that fits the hole and suits the application; see KWB05 Nylon Cable Ties. For tagout work, verify the attachment characteristics against OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147(c)(5)(ii)(C)(2) before use. A tag-body pull-strength rating does not establish the cable tie's performance.
