Arc Flash Labels

Arc flash labels are critical to safety in your facility... whether it is an electric power plant or an office building. Arc flash has injured people in retail stores and in coal mines. If there is electricity, there is the potential for an arc flash.

The problem is that people are in many cases not aware of the danger. That's why arc flash labels are so important. They warn people about the hazard and inform workers about what needs to be done to protect themselves. This helps prevent someone from working on the source of a potential arc flash, without the proper PPE.

But, arc flash labels must be correct and this usually requires that an arc flash analysis be done. The Arc Flash Solutions Handbook provides the detailed information needed to make your workplace save from arc flash hazards. Graphic Products makes a copy of this handbook available free. Use this link to request your copy: Free Arc Flash Solutions Handbook.

What about pipe markers?

If you have a facility, then you must have pipe markers. Pipe markers are a crucial component of safety in any facility. They immediately separate (identify) a water pipe from a natural gas pipe -- and in an emergency knowing which is which can be a life or death matter.

In most cases, however, piper makers provide needed information -- identifying the contents, hazard level and flow direction of pipe contents. This allows your staff to immediately know what's happening, and what valves are the right valves to close (or open). Pipe markers save time as well as saving lives.

There are standards that apply to pipe markers. The most common is the ANSI A13.1 code. For ammonia pipe markers the IIAR sets the standards and CGA publishes the standards for medical gas pipe markers and cylinder labeling. Graphic products offers labeling guides for all of these types of pipe markers and more... and the guides are available free. Call 1-888-326-9244.

Or use our pipe marker online form to request your free pipe marker guide, as well as other safety related guides.

GHS White Paper Available

The United Nation Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of labeling is coming. OSHA is in the process of taking comments, and after the first of the year they will conduct hearings. We can expect GHS to be implemented in the U.S. between the end 2010 and the end of 2012.

GHS will harmonize the way information about hazardous materials will be presented on labels. This will result in improved safety, in particular when materials are shipped across international borders.

If you need to get up to speed on GHS, or you'd like information about GHS that is presented in an easy-to-read, practical way, a free white paper is available that will be very helpful. Use the following link to get your copy:

Arc Flash Labels

Arc flash incidents happen so infrequently that people can forget about the danger.

Arc flash incidents happen so frequently, and are so severe, that they are a serious hazard and common cause of workplace injuries.

Are these statements contradictory. Not at all. They are both true. Electrical equipment can run for years with nothing apparently wrong. Then seemingly out of nowhere an arc flash happens. That's one reason why arc flash is so dangerous. It is also a major reason why arc flash labels are so important.

Arc flash labels remind anyone who gets close that an arc flash danger exists. If you use DuraLabel SUPER-SIZED arc flash labels, people don't even need to get close to read the label and know the danger is real.

Don't think that equipment must be energized with 480v or more in order to be an arc flash danger. Arc flash labels are required on equipment operating at as low a level as 50 volts, because the potential for an arc flash exists even at that low of a voltage. That means proper procedures must be followed and the proper PPE used... and arc flash labels provide that information.

When you need arc flash labels turn to the experts, DuraLabel. The DuraLabel brand of label printers and supplies provide unsurpassed quuality, ease-of-use, and customer support -- all combined into a value packaged package. That means you also save money with DuraLabel because DuraLabel supplies cost less than supplies from other major brands. But that doesn't mean you'll be scrimping on quality. The extensive testing DuraLabel puts all their supplies through ensure you get only the best quality.

Plus, with DuraLabel you get versatility. No other supplier... I'll repeat that because it's not just marketing talk... no other printer has as many types of supplies available as do DuraLabel PRO printers.

OSHA Safety Labels In Color

When can a monochrome printer print multi-color custom labels?

When you have a DuraLabel printer and are using the DuraLabel multi-color custom label service.

What's that?

The multi-color custom label services provides color templates for your labels, custom made to your specifications. They come on a continuous roll which then runs through your DuraLabel printer where the last color is printed (usually black) to add custom information. The result is a color label, made specifically for your facility and application, with exactly the information you need on the label.

That's how to make OSHA safety labels in color, or any other color label you need.

Color makes labels more effective. They transmit information quicker. The message is more easily understood. They are more easily noticeable. And with the DuraLabel multi-color custom label service full color labels are now practical. Give us a call today at 1-800-788-5572. You'll be glad you did.
