As electrical contractors we are always looking for ways to ease the day to day headaches involved in carrying out our work. I recently attended a seminar where I met a very interesting chap called Paul Holt from Labels Unlimited and he introduced me to a very novel way of using a ‘void if removed’ label.

As an electrical contractor we are required to carry out an inspection and test upon completion of any works, however you can occasionally meet customers who employ people hell bent on undoing any good work you have carried out……and there it is, a void if removed label across the lid and back box of any equipment or fuse-board you have tested. Our engineers have since thought of many other uses, to name one, across an MCB whose circuit has failed a fixed wire inspection and test. There’s more, these labels may be tailored to read ‘failed’ or even carry your company logo. Of course should your company’s work ever come under close scrutiny and the label is broken…..

Many thanks again to Paul at Labels Unlimited 0161-339-6611.
