ABUS Safety Lockout Tags on a Roll "Do Not Operate"

Each tag measures 6-1/4 inches by 3 inches with a 3/8 inch hole punched for attachment. Fasteners are not included, so plan on ordering cable ties, nylon self-locking ties, or hasp attachments separately to hang them.

The tag stock is water-resistant .010 inch polyester, so damp plant rooms, wash-down areas and exterior equipment won't pulp them the way a card tag would. The surface is printable, so crews can add the name, date and reason for the lockout by hand or by printer.

Both counts come on a roll in the same dispenser box. The 100 unit roll suits a single maintenance crew or one panel location; the 250 unit roll is the one facilities and MRO buyers take when they are standardizing tag stock across a plant or a multi-building portfolio and refilling several stations from one purchase.

Color is the only choice you make besides count. Red and white are both offered in 100 and 250 unit rolls. Many facilities run red for equipment that is locked out and out of service, and reserve white for informational or personal identification tagging, so pick the color that matches the convention already posted in your lockout/tagout program.

They ship on a roll inside a portable corrugated cardboard box that keeps them clean and feeds them one at a time. The box has a center hole so it can be hung on a wall, on a lockout station board, or off a cart rather than sitting loose on a bench.

No. A tag is a warning, not a physical block. It tells anyone approaching the disconnect that the equipment is not to be energized, and it carries the writing surface for who applied it and when. The safety padlock and the hasp or device-specific lockout are what actually hold the switch in the off position. Order the tags as the companion to those, not in place of them.

No cutting. The roll is perforated between tags, so a worker tears one off single-handed at the panel. That matters when someone is standing at a disconnect in gloves.

They are a commercial-duty product, intended for industrial and facility lockout/tagout work rather than household use. Typical buyers are plant maintenance, hospital and school facilities departments, and contractors servicing electrical and mechanical equipment who need a written warning hung alongside the lock on the energy-isolating device.
