An inspection tag is a label or marker attached to equipment or assets to indicate their inspection status. It is used to ensure compliance with health and safety legislation, providing vital information about the last inspection and the next inspection due, thus aiding in maintaining safety standards.

What are the Best Practices for Using Inspection Tags?

Users should bear in mind the following considerations, amongst others, when specifying tags:

  • Clear and Durable: Use more weatherproof, tear-resistant tags if they’ll be exposed to the elements.

  • Visible Placement: Attach the tag in a prominent location where users can easily see it before use.

  • Detailed Information: Consider capturing some or all of the following information: Date of inspection / Inspector's name or initials / Equipment ID or serial number / Inspection findings / Next inspection date (if applicable)

  • Colour Coding: Use consistent colour coding for easy identification of equipment status.

  • Replace When Needed: Tags should be updated or replaced after every inspection or when conditions change.
