Safeguard Against Hot Surface Injuries

Hot surfaces in workplaces, homes, and care facilities pose a significant risk of burns and injuries, particularly for vulnerable individuals like children, older adults, and those with sensory impairments. Traditional methods of identifying hot surfaces, such as touch or visual inspection, are often unreliable and can lead to accidental contact.

Visual & Reversible Temperature Indicator Labels:

To address this concern, visual, reversible temperature indicator labels offer a simple and effective solution. These labels are self-adhesive and change colour when the surface temperature exceeds a predetermined threshold. This colour change provides a clear and immediate visual indication of danger, allowing for preventative action to be taken.

Benefits in the Workplace:

  • Reduced risk of workplace accidents: By clearly identifying hot surfaces, indicator labels help prevent employee burns and injuries. This reduces downtime, medical costs, and potential legal repercussions.
  • Improved safety awareness: Visible labels promote safety awareness among employees, encouraging them to be cautious around potentially hot equipment and pipes.
  • Compliance with safety regulations: Many industries have regulations requiring the identification of hot surfaces. Indicator labels provide a simple and effective way to comply with these regulations.

Benefits at Home:

  • Child safety: Homes with young children are particularly vulnerable to hot surface burns. Indicator labels can be applied to appliances, radiators, and other hot objects, protecting children from accidental contact.
  • Elderly care: Seniors may have reduced sensitivity to touch, making them more susceptible to burn injuries. Indicator labels provide a clear visual warning, helping to protect their safety.
  • Peace of mind: Knowing that potential hazards are clearly identified brings peace of mind to individuals and families, enabling them to relax and enjoy their home environment without worry.

Benefits in Care Facilities:

  • Patient safety: Protecting patients from hot surface burns is crucial in care facilities. Indicator labels can be applied to medical equipment, hot water pipes, and other potential hazards to ensure patient safety.
  • Reduced liability: Clearly identifying hot surfaces helps care facilities demonstrate their commitment to patient safety, reducing potential liability risks.
  • Improved staff efficiency: Indicator labels can help staff quickly identify potential hot spots, allowing them to focus on patient care with greater efficiency.

Our visual and reversible temperature indicator labels are available in a variety of sizes and temperature ranges. These labels typically have an adhesive backing for easy application and are designed to withstand harsh environments and repeated use.
