International Market Requirements for Labels at Conveyor Industries
Posted by Clarion Safety Systems | 7th Jun 2019
Best Practice Equipment Safety Labels in
Material Handling Industries
In today’s workplaces, labels on equipment and signage within the workplace are a key component in communicating
about hazards and mitigating risk. Yet, companies often struggle with
keeping labels and signs up-to-date and consistent. Without effective warnings in
place – ones that comply with
OSHA/ANSI/ISO and effectively reinforce
behavior – the lives of your workers could be at risk.
A Global System for Safety Labels
Material handling equipment, like conveyors, is used in hundreds of industries
worldwide. Facilities all over the world rely on complex conveyor systems to
manufacture, package and sort products. In addition, the materials, containers
and products often need to be transported from one point to another within these
worldwide facilities. This means the involvement of energized moving parts and
machinery can result in the possibility of injury if the equipment is used
incorrectly. When a major, international leader in material handling and
logistics automation decided they needed a
global system of safety
labels, they knew they couldn’t rely on just any company or any printer for
the solution.

Standards

consistent,

to better protect the people who install, use and service their conveyors

important.
