When labeling becomes a hazard for employees
Many companies still use dangerous marking methods—primarily branding irons, heated metal plates, or other thermal processes.
They are considered robust, but they carry an enormous risk:
Burns, smoke development, odor pollution—and a process that is prone to errors and difficult to control.
Especially in times of increasing safety requirements and modern occupational safety standards, such methods are hardly appropriate anymore.
Why branding irons and similar devices pose a significant safety risk
Thermal marking poses several challenges and hazards:
- high risk of burns by red-hot stamps
- Risk of smoke and gas development
- increased stress at work by heat
- difficult operation – often only with protective equipment
- uncontrollable quality in fluctuating temperatures
- Hazard training necessary
- Not really suitable for temporary employees
In addition, the method is inflexible (no spontaneous changes possible), slow, energy-intensive, and difficult to document. In short: Those who use heat to mark products risk injuries, downtime, and high occupational safety costs.
In many companies, this is precisely what leads to errors that run through entire processes.
The solution: REINER® – secure marking without heat, risk, or danger
