Slip, Trip, & Fall Labels

Slip, Trip and Fall Labels

Industrial environments often contain slip, trip, and fall hazards that can lead to unintended injuries for workers and visitors. These risks are frequently associated with machinery featuring moving parts like rollers, gears, belt drives, and conveyors. The potential for injuries is significant, posing severe threats such as hand injuries, mangled fingers, scalping, and amputation.

Similar to other types of machinery safety labels, our slip, trip, and fall hazard labels actively contribute to risk reduction and injury prevention. By elevating awareness about these common hazards, we collaboratively foster safer environments. If you need guidance to select the appropriate slip, trip, and fall hazard labels, our experts are ready to assist.

Clarion Safety’s slip, trip, and fall hazard labels help manufacturers of equipment to warn people of these hazards when and where they occur. There are various hazards in the workplace. Some of these hazards involve parts of machines that should not be stepped on. Other hazards include slippery surfaces that can cause liquids to spill. Additionally, there are dangers associated with climbing, walking, or standing on conveyors.

Slips, trips, and falls are caused by friction, momentum, and gravity. Slips are caused by a loss of balance from too little friction between one’s feet and the surface they are working on, resulting in a loss of traction from workers moving too fast, not paying attention, or wearing the wrong personal protective equipment on their feet.

Fall hazards, while seemingly avoidable, still account for the most workplace fatalities than any other reason. Slips, trips, and falls can result in various injuries, including sprains, strains, fractures, broken bones, head injuries, cuts, abrasions, back injuries, and spinal injuries.

Landing awkwardly or striking the head on a hard surface can lead to severe consequences, necessitating medical attention and potential long-term effects. These incidents can be minimized with proper equipment design such as making drip pans and drain offs available, raised/lipped edges, and a built in exhaust ventilation, accompanied by corresponding labels and signs to warn and advise the user where not to step.

Machine safety signs and labels play an essential part in risk reduction, and can help you meet OSHA requirements. It’s important to consider the latest ANSI and ISO standards and today’s best practices for safety communication and risk reduction when selecting labels for your application.
You can rely on Clarion Safety’s ANSI, ISO, and OSHA warnings expertise for help. We specialize in supplying product manufacturers and workplaces with the most up-to-date, standards compliant labels. In fact, over the past 30+ years, we’ve helped to write the standards you want to meet.
With Clarion Safety warning label products, you can select from a variety of label format options (multi-symbol and text, symbol only, symbol and text, and wordless formatted labels) as well as symbol options to best fit the potential hazard. Keep in mind that the use of symbols in warnings and instructions is essential to the ISO 3864-2 standards and is encouraged in the ANSI Z535.4 standards. Our labels use internationally recognized, standardized ISO 7010 or ISO 7010-styled symbols.
Do you have questions on risk or hazard assessments? Our engineers at our subsidiary, Machine Safety Specialists (MSS), and our warnings experts at Clarion Safety can work independently, or with you and your team to ensure your machinery is effectively labeled and fully complies with U.S. and/or international standards. If you need assistance ensuring your products or machinery are properly labeled and fully compliant with the applicable U.S. and international safety standards, contact us today.
At Clarion Safety, we understand the importance of safety label durability. Labels need to stand up to your product’s expected environment of use, such as exposure to UV, high temperatures, or chemicals. Potential accidents – and your company’s liability exposure – depend on your label material choices. We offer the finest adhesives, base materials and overlaminates, including premium quality 3M materials.
Our high-quality slip, trip, and fall labels have been developed and tested to withstand abrasive chemical washdowns, water, heat, and strong ultraviolet light. We have a variety of standard material options available, including options for both indoor and outdoor use. If the standard choices that you see don’t meet your requirements, we’re standing by to find a solution; we offer a wide range of custom material options.
