E-LEM-inate Accidents with LEM Products

Online, March 3, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Proper Identification and warning on all electrical transformers is critical for the safety of children, adults and utility company employees. LEM Products strives to create clear and accurate identification, safety labels and warning products able to withstand extreme weather conditions. Stock and customized transformer labels are available to enable utility companies to mark any transformer with the most site-specific information for complete accuracy and the ultimate in safety precautions. An added bonus is LEM's ability to provide multi-lingual texts and universal symbols for cross-cultural applications.

Stock Transformer Labels
These pressure sensitive transformer labels warn children to keep away from pad mounted transformers. Markers are available in English or a combination of English and Spanish. A red "DANGER" marker goes inside the enclosure. An orange "WARNING" marker goes outside the enclosure. Safety labels are made from tamper resistant film with permanent acrylic adhesive which will tear upon any attempt at removal. These weather-proof and fade-resistant labels meet both the NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) standard and the Underwriters Laboratory performance standard no.969.

Custom Transformer Labels
It's your choice: "NEMA" the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, (Mr. Ouch) "ANSI" American National Standards Institute (Z535.3) have worked years to achieve symbols and standards in an effort to educate and make the distribution of electrical power safe for everyone.
Pictograms such as "Hand Shock" and "Mr. Ouch" or "Shock in the Box" are all designed to convey a message as to the inherent "DANGER" or "WARNING" to children or those who may not be conversant in the language of the text displayed. However, none of these symbols are perfect by themselves in passing the critical Comprehension test of safety. The combinations of the various symbols, when combined with the proper signal word make a more comprehensive communication.
