Doylestown, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/23/2015 -- According to the National Safety Council, violation of the OSHA standard for scaffolding is third in the 2015 Top Ten OSHA Violations. There were over 4,000 citations for violation of workplace scaffold safety in fiscal year 2015, and it showed up on the list of most frequently-cited violations right after fall protection and hazard communication.
Being found in violation of OSHA guidelines is a costly setback for any company, and the frequency of scaffolding violations clearly indicates that workplaces must step up their attention to scaffold safety.
LEM Products, Inc., a leading manufacturer of custom safety sign solutions, provides effective scaffold tags to help workplaces comply with applicable safety regulations. LEM Products, Inc.'s scaffold tags combine the functions of accident prevention tags and inspection tags.
The tags can be used to alert worksite personnel of the stability of a scaffold in order to prevent unauthorized or unsafe scaffold use. For instance, they warn whether a scaffold is being erected or dismantled, whether it complies with building codes and whether or not it is safe to climb.
The tags are bright red with black type, ensuring that they are clearly readable and highly visible. Each tag is made from a durable, moisture-resistant plastic that can withstand temperatures of up to 175 degrees Fahrenheit. Hanging tags can be attached to scaffolding by a sturdy metal eyelet at the top of the tag. LEM Products, Inc.'s scaffold tags are also available in the form of adhesive-backed vinyl tags that can be applied to the scaffold surface. All tags are self-laminating so that personnel can add pertinent information to the tag, then seal it with the clear polyester cover to protect the written information.
