Should Zip Ties (Cable Ties) Have a Warning Label?

[basicxman]

i think that if people are dumb enough to do something like this then a warning label isn't going to stop them

besides zipties are small do you think there going to be that readable?

Zip ties by themselves don't seem to tempt my team too dangerously by themselves...zip ties plus a zip tie gun, however...now THOSE are tempting. Hence the zip ties on my shoe laces, every pencil at our shop, several locks of hair, a few near-misses on fingers, and random places on the robot...

It is not only zip ties, but other things used for cable management. We had one person on our team stick two fingers in a thing used to bundle wires. It is a braided nylon tube that works like a finger trap. While he was stuck in it, it was fun to pull him around, but he eventually got out.

Bungee cords can be dangerous if not handled correctly.

Warning labels can only do so much, it comes down to individual safety practices and responsibility.

Warning labels don't usually help. Labels come on bags of balloons, which are meant to be decorations, not toys, and are not usually printed on each balloon. Yet everywhere they are handing out helium balloons, parents are seen giving one to little Junior, who promptly puts it in his mouth. Which is why I gave up making balloon animals and started doing only face painting when I was a clown. When a balloon is popped it explodes (as seen here) and can easily be inhaled.
It's like putting the Warning: Hot labels on coffee cups. What happened to common sense?

I'm glad I don't have this problem because I use Bar-Loks.

We tied all our wires down with wax Telcom string. No cuts and no hurt wrists

The answer is no, we do not want to pay higher prices for warning labels on zip ties.
