Warning and instructional plates are used for telling people when certain areas and equipment can be dangerous. These are plates that are attached to the area where such dangers can be found, or on the equipment that come with certain dangers. These plates are often used by numerous businesses that operate various dangerous equipment and machinery.
These plates, when ordered, are customizable according to what each company needs. For example, if the business needs a warning plate that tells of electrical hazards, pictograms and the right headers as well as designs, are used on such plates. These are more than likely to carry a pictogram that tells of voltage warnings and this is in the form of a lightning bolt.
To help you understand what other parts of this particular metal nameplate you can customize, here is a list:
Metal Material Specification – this is where you choose what kind of metal you will use for your plates. The metals you will find in this list are tarnish resistant and rust proof, making these ideal for many applications. Choose the metal that best suits your needs and according to your budget. There are many different thicknesses to choose from as well.
Methods of Manufacturing – also part of the selection process for your warning and instructional plate creation is the marking method of your plates. There are quite a number of methods to choose from, and these include embossing, etching, laser printing, digital printing, stonewear, and many more. Choose the best possible marking method for your plates according to where these are to be used. For example, if you are thinking of using these in areas that are exposed to very rough conditions, stonewear may be a good choice since these last a very long time and are rather resistant to changes in weather conditions.
Headers Used – also important when you are putting together warning plates and instructional markers for your machinery and facilities is to take note of the headers that you are supposed to use. There are a number of headers that are ideal for different kinds of situations and being able to use the right one is crucial to the safety of the people who depend on these tags. Using the wrong kind of header may put your workers, or even visitors to your business, in peril if they do not take the necessary precautions due to the wrong use of a header.
Adhesives and Mounting – you can also choose the adhesive and mounting option for your plates here. There are a number of these to make your choices from, and you should select which one best suits your specific need. There are heavy duty adhesives, high performance ones that are ideal for when plates are to be exposed to heat and cold, and those that are ideal for windy areas as well.
