Figure  1-2.—Danger  tag. The  record  sheet  includes  reference  to  any documents  that  apply—such  as  PMS,  technical manuals,  and  other  instructions,  the  reason  for the tag-out, the hazards involved, any amplifying instructions, and the work necessary to clear the tags.  Use  enough  tags  to  completely  isolate  the item   or   system   being   worked   on.   This   will prevent operation from any and all stations that could exercise control. Indicate the location and condition of the tagged item by the simplest means (for   example,   FOS-11A,   closed). When attaching the tags, you must ensure that the item is in the position or condition indicated on the tag. As you attach each tag, you then must sign the tag and initial the record sheet. After all tags   are   attached,   a   second   qualified   person ensures   the   items   are   in   the   position   and condition   indicated,   and   verifies   proper   tag placement.  That  person  also  signs  the  tags  and initials the record sheet. TYPES OF TAGS The  following  sections  describe  the  various tags and the applications required to be used from time to time. Figure  1-3.—Caution  tag. Danger Tag A danger tag is a  RED  tag (fig. 1-2) used to prohibit  the  operation  of  equipment  that  could jeopardize  the  safety  of  personnel  or  endanger equipment.  Under  no  circumstances  should  equip- ment  be  operated  when  tagged  with  DANGER tags. Caution  Tag A  caution  tag  is  a  YELLOW   tag  (fig.  1-3) used   as   a   precautionary   measure   to   provide temporary special instructions or to indicate that unusual  caution  must  be  exercised  to  operate equipment.   These   instructions   must   give   the specific  reason  that  the  tag  was  installed.  The use  of  such  phrases  as  DO  NOT  OPERATE WITHOUT   EOOW   PERMISSION   is   NOT APPROPRIATE since equipment or systems are not operated unless permission has been granted by  responsible  authority.  A  CAUTION  tag  is NOT used any time personnel or equipment can be endangered while performing evolutions using normal operating procedures; a  DANGER tag is used in this case. 1-11
