Do Not Use Signs

Yes, do not use equipment signs and tags are an important component of any OSHA 1910.147-compliant lockout tagout program, and our lockout signs collection offers both permanent signs for posting on equipment with ongoing maintenance restrictions and LOTO tags for temporary attachment during specific maintenance and servicing tasks.

Yes, our do not use and out of order signs include door hanger formats that can be quickly placed on equipment levers and control knobs without tools or adhesive, ideal for facilities that need to temporarily mark equipment as out of service and then remove the restriction quickly once the equipment is returned to service without leaving residue or damaging surfaces.

Yes, our customizable do not use equipment sign templates allow you to add a maintenance contact, expected return-to-service date, reason for out-of-service status, or authorized repair personnel instructions, and our out of order use with caution ready for use flip placard is one popular option for facilities managing multiple pieces of out-of-service equipment with different timelines.

A do not operate sign is most commonly used on machinery with a specific start control to be locked out and is the preferred language in OSHA LOTO programs for powered machinery, while a do not use equipment sign is a broader prohibition applicable to tools, non-powered equipment, and vehicles, and we carry both so you can match the precise restriction language to each specific piece of equipment.
