melted inspection tag, using wrong tag material

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.
