DE-ENERGIZE BEFORE WORK Safety Label – 5" × 3" Black on Yellow

Engraved label reading "DE-ENERGIZE BEFORE WORK", 5" × 3", black text on a yellow background. Use "DE-ENERGIZE BEFORE WORK" at service points where crews might be tempted to work hot.

For use on disconnects, motor junction boxes and service covers that should only be opened with power off.

Tells the reader to turn off and disconnect power before starting any service, instead of working on live parts.

Where it's used: Usually on disconnects, control panel doors, motor junction boxes, equipment guards and service access covers.

• Wording: "DE-ENERGIZE BEFORE WORK" (1 line, bold lettering)
• Size: 5" × 3" (127 × 76 mm), a large plate for doors, walls and big equipment where it has to be seen from a distance.
• Color: Black text on a yellow background. Black on yellow is the go-to for caution and attention markings and stands out from a distance.
• Mounting: Pre-drilled holes in the corners for screws or rivets, for a permanent fix on panels, doors and equipment.
• Material: 1/16" (1.6 mm) two-ply engraving plastic with a matte finish. The wording is engraved through the top color to the contrasting core, so it can't rub off like printed ink.
• Corners: Square-cut corners and clean edges.

Place it next to the lockout point so the instruction and the place to apply a lock sit together. Usually ordered by maintenance supervisors and electrical contractors. Also called: de-energize before servicing, power off before work.
