Out of Service - Do Not Use Sign FAQs
Is this sign compatible with OSHA lockout/tagout programs?
Yes. While this sign is not a lockout/tagout device itself, it is an ideal visual complement to formal LOTO programs required under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147. It should be used alongside proper lockout devices.
What sizes does this sign come in?
This sign is available in 7"×10" and 10"×14" sizes. Custom sizes are also available.
Is the sign reusable?
Yes. The rigid plastic version is fully reusable-it can be moved from equipment to equipment as maintenance needs change.
Can I get this sign with a write-on area?
Yes. We carry versions with a blank write-on area for technicians to add the date, issue description, or responsible party.
What is the difference between 'Out of Service' and 'Out of Order' signs?
'Out of Service' is typically used for equipment or machinery in industrial settings, while 'Out of Order' is more common for consumer-facing equipment like restroom fixtures or elevators. Both communicate the same core message: do not use.
