Tag Tie Material

The OSHA regulations are quite particular about the ties used to install the lockout/tagout tags. This is for a good reason. No matter how good your tag is - but if the tie is flimsy, the tag is not going to stay in place for long time.

You are allowed to use nylon cable ties or other suitable mean which meet the following requirements:

a. Ties must be new. You are not allowed to reuse ties.

b. Can be attached by hand.

c. Ties must be self-locking.

d. Cannot be removed with less than 50 pounds of force.
