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.
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147(c)(5)(ii)(D) requires employee identification on lockout/tagout devices. Section 1910.147(c)(5)(iii) requires tagout warning legends. Where used as accident-prevention tags, the applicable criteria are in 29 CFR 1910.145(f).
| Material option | Construction and finish | Standard dimensions | Hole and use notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Classic Industrial | 65# cover stock printed on both sides, laminated with 12.5 mil PVC on each side. The two PVC layers total 25 mil; this excludes the paper core and is not the finished tag thickness. Matte finish. | 3-1/8 inches x 5-5/8 inches | 3/8-inch hole reinforced with a #2 zinc grommet. The hard-matte writing surface accepts pen, pencil and marker; pencil notations can be erased. |
| All Plastic | 12.5 mil rigid PVC with a matte, UV-resistant surface. | 3 inches x 5-3/4 inches | An economical all-plastic option best for indoor use or limited time outdoors. Classic Industrial paper-core, laminate and grommet specifications do not automatically apply to this option. |
| Sturdy Card Stock | Card stock printed with UV-resistant inks. | 2-7/8 inches x 5-3/8 inches | An economical card-stock option for indoor and short-term use. Can be laminated in a Q-Tag laminating pouch. Classic Industrial laminate and grommet specifications do not automatically apply to this option. |
Choose the material for the actual workplace environment and expected time in service. Check that the warning and handwritten information remain legible. If you need documented thickness, temperature limits or chemical-resistance data for a specific option, request a bulk or custom quote before specifying it.
Have an authorized employee complete and apply the tag under the employer's equipment-specific energy-control procedure. Identify the employee applying the device and keep the warning visible and legible. A tag does not provide the physical restraint of a lock. Follow the employer's controls for stored energy, verification, notification and device removal; see the Lockout/Tagout Tag Selection and Use Guide.
Compare nylon cable ties and padlocks for the application. The cable tie is a separate item for these individual tags; verify its documented attachment characteristics before tagout use. Tags are sold individually with a minimum order of 25. Select a material and quantity to view its current per-tag price and quantity discounts. For larger orders, custom sizes, wording or a company logo, request a bulk or custom quote and include the SKU, material and quantity required.

No. A tag communicates a warning and does not provide the physical restraint of a lock. Use it under the employer's energy-control program and the applicable conditions in 29 CFR 1910.147.
Normally the employee who applied it removes it. If that employee is unavailable, OSHA permits an employer-directed exception only with documented procedures, training, verification of absence, reasonable contact efforts, and notification before the employee resumes work. See the Lockout/Tagout Tag Selection and Use Guide and your employer's procedure.
