Industrial Safety Labels
Employers face a legal duty to display hazard labels and warning labels to help minimise workplace risks. Getting this wrong can mean accidents, injuries, and costly enforcement action. Industrial safety labels from Positive ID Labels help you meet your obligations with durable, clearly visible warning solutions that survive the toughest environments.
We manufacture industrial safety labels including fixed and variable data barcode labels, using 1D and 2D print methods, at our Derby factory using digital and flexographic printing. Whether you need ten labels or ten thousand, we deliver quality products typically within 3-5 working days.
Why Industrial Safety Labels Matter for Compliance
Health and safety regulations require that workplaces using potentially dangerous goods or equipment display appropriate hazard warnings. These warnings must be clearly visible, durable enough to remain legible throughout their working life, and compliant with relevant standards including BS EN 7010 for safety symbols.
Industrial safety labels communicate critical information to workers, visitors, and contractors. They identify hazards, specify PPE requirements, mark isolation points, and guide people to safety equipment. Without proper safety labelling, even trained staff can overlook dangers, particularly in busy manufacturing environments where familiarity breeds complacency.
We’ve had a great experience working with this supplier, especially with Natalie - she is always very responsive, professional, and friendly. The pricing is highly competitive and the sales service has been excellent from start to finish.If I could offer one suggestion, it would be to improve the account and invoice management process. It would be really helpful if there were a system for clients to easily track their past orders and invoices in one place.Overall, very pleased with the service and look forward to continuing our collaboration.
Absolutely brilliant service from start to finish. The team are brilliant and the product was excellent quality and exactly what I wanted. Natalie is amazing as are her colleagues. Will definitely be a returning customer. Thank you
Ive used Positive ID Labelling Ltd for all our egg box labels for many years now. Natalie is always above and beyond helpful and the service is exceptionally fast and efficient.
I inadvertently ordered the incorrect label guns which was quickly sorted by Natalie. She was excellent, customer service at its best! Thank you once again
Industrial Safety Labels as part of Health & Safety Management
As part of your health & safety procedures, it may be necessary to ensure certification labels are in place for items requiring regular inspection. Other examples of this category of labels include asset labels and PAT Test Labels. Alternatively, you may manufacture products that require self-certification for conformance confirmed with UKCA labels.
Safety Labels for Chemicals
Products containing chemicals require labelling with accurate information in corformance with GHS (Global Harmonised System) and CLP (Chemical classification, Labelling and Packaging)regulations to help minimise health & safety requirements. Examples of products requiring this kind of labelling include Car Care Labels, Chemical Labels and Pesticide or Fertiliser Labels.
Materials Built for Demanding Environments
Standard paper labels fail quickly in industrial settings. Grease, chemicals, abrasion, moisture, and UV exposure destroy them within weeks. Our industrial safety labels use materials engineered for demanding conditions.
Polypropylene offers excellent chemical resistance and flexibility, conforming well to curved surfaces on machinery and pipework and suitable for tote bin labels in conjunction with other finishing options. For extreme durability, polyester withstands higher temperatures and resists most solvents, making it ideal for chemical plant environments. Where BS5609 marine durability is required, we supply certified materials that survive prolonged saltwater immersion.
We print using UV-cured inks on our Screen press at 600dpi resolution, producing vibrant colours that resist fading even under constant fluorescent or natural light exposure. For premium finishes or specialist applications, our Xeikon delivers 1200dpi quality on papers and synthetics.
Types of Industrial Safety Labels We Supply
Our range of safety warning solutions covers the full spectrum of workplace warning requirements:
- Hazard warning labels alert workers to specific dangers; electrical hazards, crushing risks, chemical exposure, hot surfaces, and moving machinery. These feature the yellow triangle symbols specified in BS EN 7010.
- Prohibition labels communicate what actions are forbidden: no smoking, no entry, no mobile phones, no access for unauthorised personnel. Red circles with diagonal bars provide instant recognition.
- Mandatory labels specify required actions wearing PPE such as eye protection, hearing defenders, hard hats, or safety footwear. Blue circular symbols make these immediately identifiable.
- Fire safety labels identify extinguisher types, fire exits, assembly points, and fire action instructions. Correct labelling helps people respond quickly during emergencies.
- Pipe and valve markers identify contents flowing through pipework using colour-coded systems, preventing dangerous errors when maintenance staff isolate systems.
Custom Industrial Safety Labels
Beyond standard symbols, we produce bespoke safety labels such as tactile warning labels, incorporating your specific warnings, procedures, or company branding. Our Jetrion press with laser die-cutting creates any shape without tooling costs, perfect for unusual formats or short runs.
Industries Relying on Our Safety Label Solutions
Manufacturing plants use our labels on machinery, electrical panels, and throughout production areas. Clear warnings help prevent the accidents that cause downtime and insurance claims.
- Construction sites need tough labels surviving outdoor exposure. Our weatherproof materials handle rain, dust, and temperature extremes.
- Warehouses and logistics facilities require forklift area warnings, racking load limits, and goods handling instructions. High-visibility colours ensure they’re noticed in busy environments.
- Chemical and pharmaceutical facilities demand specialist safety labelling resistant to aggressive solvents and cleaning agents. We supply BS5609-compliant materials for these applications.
- Food processing plants need labels withstanding washdown procedures whilst remaining food-safe.
How We Make Your Industrial Safety Labels
Digital printing on our Jetrion 4900 suits runs under 1,000 linear metres. There are no plate costs, so you pay only for the labels you need. Laser die-cutting creates any shape without tooling investment.
For higher volumes, flexographic printing becomes more economical. Our MPS 350 press produces safety labels at over 100 metres per minute, dramatically reducing per-label costs on large orders.
Either method delivers the same exceptional quality. We match the production technique to your order quantity to ensure the best value.
Ordering Your Industrial Safety Labels
Because every requirement differs, we quote based on your exact specification. Size, material, adhesive type, quantity, and print complexity all affect pricing. Larger orders reduce unit costs significantly.
Most orders ship within 3-5 working days. Urgent requirements can often be accommodated – Âcall us to discuss.
Frequently Asked Questions About Industrial Safety Labels
What standards do your industrial safety labels meet?
Our labels comply with BS EN 7010 symbol standards and can be manufactured to BS5609 for marine durability when required. We also produce labels meeting GHS/CLP requirements for chemical hazard communication.
How long will safety labels last in harsh environments?
Depending on material selection and exposure conditions, our polyester and polypropylene labels typically remain legible for 5-7 years in industrial settings. We recommend discussing your specific environment so we can advise the most suitable material.
Can you supply labels for machinery that gets hot?
Yes. Our polyester materials withstand temperatures up to 150 °C continuously. For even higher temperatures, we offer specialist thermal-resistant options. Describe your application and we’ll recommend appropriate materials.
Do you offer samples before I commit to a large order?
We provide samples for approved enquiries so you can verify suitability before placing your order.
What’s the minimum order for custom printed labels?
Digital printing eliminates minimum order constraints for custom work. Whether you need fifty labels or fifty thousand, we can help.
Can labels include barcodes or sequential numbering?
Absolutely. Variable data printing allows barcodes, QR codes, sequential numbers, or any other changing information across your label run.
