Do Not Operate Machinery Warnings Signs

Yes. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 requires that equipment being serviced be locked out and tagged to prevent accidental startup. Do not operate signs and tags are a critical component of any LOTO program, clearly communicating to all workers that the machine is out of service and must not be started. We offer both signs for permanent posting and tags for temporary LOTO application.

Yes. We offer durable do not operate vinyl labels that apply directly to machinery surfaces for a clean, permanent installation. Our adhesive labels feature an aggressive adhesive that bonds to metal, plastic, and painted machine surfaces, and the laminated print resists chemicals, oil, and heat exposure common in industrial machinery environments without fading or peeling over time.

Yes. We offer do not operate signs with safety pictograms that communicate the restriction visually, making the message accessible regardless of language or literacy level. Pictogram signs are particularly important in facilities with diverse international workforces where text-only signs may not effectively reach all workers who need to understand the machinery lockout status.

Yes. Our customizable do not operate sign templates allow you to add a specific machine name, maintenance contact, expected return-to-service date, or authorized personnel information. Custom signs reduce confusion in large facilities with multiple machines under maintenance simultaneously, helping workers immediately identify which piece of equipment is out of service and why.
