Call us today for a Safety Label Audit

Did you know the standards have changed? Are your safety labels compliant?

It's critical that your product and machinery labeling meets the latest safety standards. In today's heightened regulatory and legal environment, your customers should expect no less. Clarion will help you learn whether your labeling is up to these new ISO and ANSI standards, as well as the standards for specific industries. These standards are complex and evolving, and keeping up with them takes time and resources.

Clarion's been involved in critical roles on most of the key standards committees for almost two decades, serving on both the ANSI and ISO panels for safety markings and graphics. The practical benefit to you is a chance to take advantage of our experience – and our deep record of working with 9,000 customers - to ensure you’re safety markings meet today's codes and today's best practices. We can help take this issue off your plate, saving you time, money and effort you can instead devote to your core business mission.

A Safety Label Audit from Clarion - the first step:

Here are some key reasons to schedule a safety label audit now:

• Help comply with the criteria set forth in U.S. benchmark ANSI Z535, the "best practices" standard in safety labeling and signage
• Address your "legal duty" to warn
• Help to reduce injuries, product misuse, and product liability exposure
• Help satisfy EU marking requirements with the criteria set forth in the ISO 3864 standards

Things to consider with one of our experts

• Symbols. We have roughly 1,000 symbols in our library, both ISO-approved and ones we have custom designed. Should you use symbols to cut across language and literacy barriers?
• International use. For sales outside the United States, ISO formats should be on your list.
• Languages. Should you use a second or perhaps third language to reach workers or visitors who don’t speak English?
• Are your product manuals and training manuals consistent with your labels?
• Are warnings consistent across your product lines?

How will the audit work?

• Clarion's standards compliance team will review and critique your company's existing labels via conference call with you
• They'll make suggestions for improvement based upon design principles outlined in the most recent versions of the ANSI and ISO safety labeling standards
• If new labels are in fact needed, we'll design them at no cost (if purchased from us)

Since our inception in 1990, Clarion's whole approach to safety has been to work in close consultation with our customers. Don't wait until an accident or lawsuit to update your safety labels to today's best practices. Call our Compliance Department at 800.748.0241 (570.296.5686 for international customers), or email compliance@clarionsafety.com.

The fine print: We strongly recommend you consult with a product liability attorney for legal advice regarding the duty to warn, if you don’t have this expertise in-house. Clarion partners who have this experience can be found on our partners page.
