Below the Hook Safety

Don’t cut corners on inspection and certification tags!

Avoid these tagging alternatives that fall short and could lead to injury.

Paint:
Paint can conceal harmful damage in metal equipment. Cracks or breaks, heat damage, corrosion and excessive wear can be hidden by
paint and overlooked during inspection.

Electrical Tape:
Easily worn and torn apart by weather and abrasive contact, electrical tape is a particularly unreliable choice for inspection
tagging. Additionally, tape must be removed completely in order to observe the surface below it, discouraging frequent and thorough
inspection.

Standard Cable Ties:
Regular plastic cable ties are non-obstructive and moveable for inspection. However, cheap plastics can be weakened by environmental conditions to the point of breaking and can snap easily upon impact.
