Are you looking for something to clearly mark inventory, assets, property or any other equipment? Luckily, Lable Source supplies top-quality numbered metal tags could be the perfect solution to your identification needs! 

Browse our Metal serial number tags and see our 4 options available. 

These metal serial number tags come in two different materials; aluminium or brass. Aluminium is ideal for cooler environments, whereas brass is perfect for anywhere hot as it doesn't produce sparks and is non-magnet. So whether you need to tag somewhere hot or cold, we have you covered. They sequentially numbered tags also come in two different sizes so you can pick from a 16mm x 47mm name plate or go for our bigger option at 25mm x 45 mm. 

In order for the tags to be clear, the numerals are stamped onto the metal tag and this stamp is then colour filled. This allows the number to clearly stand out making it easy for you to identify.  The holes on either side of the tag allow for them to be easily secured to a surface, far out of the way of the number so it can not be  obstructed in any way 

We offer these in aluminium and brass because they are both excellent materials to ensure your numbered metal tags last. Both brass and aluminium are lightweight, tough and resistant to most corrosive materials. This allows for them to be placed in most environments without worrying that the quality will worsen over time.

They are harder to chip or scratch and should be able to carry out your number identifications much more efficiently than any paper or plastic tags you may have considered. 

We pride ourselves on having a label, sign or tag for any requirements here at Label Source. If you require any type of product we offer but would like some advice on what best suits your project then feel free to give us a call on, 0800 3761 693.

In working life, there are a number of hazards an employee can encounter on a day-to-day basis. This increases when somebody works in a factory or manufacturing setting, mainly due to the machinery they work with.

Machinery brings with it unique dangers, with one of these being machinery entrapment. Machinery entrapment can be costly for both human life and company pockets, so it’s important that employers know how to prevent it.

Below, we discuss the meaning of trapping hazards, how to prevent entrapment and the cost of employers ignoring the dangers of their own machinery.  

Entrapment Hazard Definition

For many people, an entrapment hazard can become their worst nightmare. An entrapment hazard is defined as something or somewhere that could trap the worker. An example of this is a confined space, where workers can become stuck.

So, what is machinery entrapment? Machinery entrapment refers to when a worker’s limb is caught in a machine – this can be anything from warehouse equipment to vehicles. Scary stuff, right? 

How to Prevent Entrapment in the Workplace

The solution to preventing entrapment in the workplace is threefold: risk assessments, good training and proper labelling.

A proper risk assessment means reviewing each piece of equipment and listing:

• The best ways to prevent injury.
• The type of injury that is likely to occur.
• The response in the event an injury occurs.

As part of this risk assessment, labelling should be mentioned. It is important that entrapment hazards in all working places are clearly marked. If there is a chance that a worker could be hurt by possible entrapment in any area, to comply with health and safety requirements, there should be sign warning workers of the risk. 

Case Study

In 2017, Warburtons were fined 1.9million for an entrapment hazard which caused a worker to sustain significant friction burn which required a skin graft. Mr. Thrope passed away in the hospital less than two weeks later, though doctors stated this was due to a kidney infection and heart condition, not the friction burn. 

Mr. Thrope had decided to clean dough which had fallen in between the tins when his right arm became entrapped between the conveyer belt and the molder. There were no signs displayed which warned this Warburton worker of the entrapment hazard at hand and no buttons which could be reached easily if someone was trapped by this machine. 

This is a clear example of why entrapment hazards should be considered utmost importance and employers should avoid accidents like this at all costs.
