Overview
Do not switch on labels say, in plain words, that a circuit has been isolated on purpose. Before working, the electrician switches off, sticks the label over the breaker or isolator, and writes their name, the date and why. Anyone who wanders past knows to leave it alone and who to ask.
Who uses do not switch on labels
Electricians on domestic and commercial jobs, maintenance teams isolating machinery, facilities staff during planned works, and contractors sharing a site with other trades.
Where to fix an isolation label
Across the breaker or switch you have turned off, on the front of a rotary isolator, on a distribution board door, or on the machine control panel. On a shared site, add one at the board and one at the point of work.
Isolation label sizes and materials
A slim strip spans a row of breakers; the deeper label carries more detail.
| Option | What it means | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| 96mm x 45mm | Long and slim | Across breakers, DIN rails |
| 96mm x 68mm | Deeper, more lines | Isolators, machine panels, board doors |
| Matt paper | Indoor, easy to write on | Writing name, date and reason |
| Waterproof polypropylene | Matt laminated, indoor and outdoor | Outdoor isolators, plant and site boards |
| Gloss paper | Shiny, indoor | Pre-printed notices |
What to write on a do not switch on label
Isolated by, date, time, reason and contact number, beneath a bold heading. Your company name and scheme or registration number print as text.
The label adds a visible message; it works alongside your usual lock-off kit, not in place of it.
