As above. But if it's a grid switch, then the label can be inside on the yolk, not necessarilly on the outside of the switch

Hmmmmm...... not too sure about this one! I would put it on the outside anyway, to let everyone know what is waiting for them.

I believe Gizmo's thinking is that any work to be undertaken requires the removal of the faceplate first so you still get the warning in time, a reasonable idea especially if the customer complains about the ugly stickers over his nice shiney switch

The stickers that MK supply with their yolkes are designed to fit on the yolkes themselves.
