Instructional Labels

Using safety labels to convey critical personal safety information can play an important role in helping people to avoid injury during the installation, operation, service and disposal of your equipment or machinery. This category of safety labels focuses on communicating procedures, instructions, and precautions that enable people to better avoid potential hazards.

Manufacturers can incorporate “Read Manual” and “Safety Instruction” labels on equipment in many different scenarios for heightened user guidance and safety. These labels are indispensable on equipment with intricate controls, serving as reminder to users to consult operating and safety manuals before operation, preventing accidents from misuse. Additionally, in hazardous environments, safety instruction labels offer imperative guidance on protective measures to minimize risks. For emergency equipment, these labels provide clear usage instructions, ensuring swift and effective responses during crises. In the medical field, safety instruction labels are pivotal for guiding healthcare professionals on proper use of equipment, keeping patient safe and providing accurate diagnostics.

Industrial vehicles benefit from instructional labels, informing operators about control systems and safety features to prevent accidents. Likewise, specialized machinery, such as CNC machines, should carry safety instructions for precise setup, operation, and maintenance. On construction sites, safety instruction labels on machinery offer vital guidance on safe practices, load limits, and potential hazards, helping to reduce the risk of accidents. Even in controlled environments like laboratories, "Read Manual" labels and related instructions provide crucial information for safe operations.

Clarion Safety offers a wide selection of safety labels that use internationally standardized symbols to indicate proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and other instructional information for those who interact with your products during every phase of their lifespan. This includes safety instruction labels, refer to manual labels, lifting/weight hazard labels, PPE labels, and slip/trip/fall labels.

Explaining how to avoid hazards is often just as important as describing the nature of the hazard and the consequence of human interaction with the hazard. By placing both hazard description and hazard avoidance messages on your product, you’re essentially giving people the knowledge they need to understand potential hazards and the steps they must take to avoid equipment damaage and possible injury or death. Providing this comprehensive information can help people to avoid confusion and frustration, and help motivate their compliance with safety protocols.
