Entanglement hazard labels warn that loose clothing, hair, or limbs can become caught and drawn into a chain drive, belt drive, gear mesh, or rotating shaft, leading to serious injury.
3M polyester base with polyester overlaminate, UL Recognized and CSA Approved, rated –40°F to 300°F for indoor and outdoor use. Full construction details are on the Label construction page.
Labels are stocked with pictograms specific to each mechanism: a hand-in-chain image for chain drives, a hand-in-belt image for belt and pulley hazards, and a rotating-shaft image for exposed shaft ends. Using the matching pictogram makes the hazard immediately clear to workers and satisfies the ANSI Z535.4 requirement that the pictographic symbol accurately represent the hazard at that location. Stock designs cover each type; browse by mechanism or email [email protected] if you need a combination or custom pictogram.
Stock entanglement labels range from 1″ to 3.75″ base. Smaller sizes suit tight guard openings or compact drive housings where space adjacent to the hazard is limited; larger sizes carry a full ANSI signal word panel, pictogram, and message panel readable from the approach distance to the machine. For sizes outside the stocked range, email [email protected] with the symbol, required dimensions, and quantity for a quote.
