After any service, if noncompliant conditions or impairments exist, the service person must attach, in addition to attaching a service tag the appropriate yellow tag or red tag according to the procedures in this subchapter for completing and attaching yellow and red tags.

• A. The appropriate yellow tag or red tag
• B. A blue tag
• C. No tag
• D. A green tag

Answer: (A)

When service reveals noncompliant conditions or impairments, you must communicate that status clearly by attaching the appropriate yellow tag or red tag in addition to the service tag. This tagging signals to anyone who might use the equipment that it’s not safe or ready for normal operation and that corrective actions are needed before use. The red tag conventionally means the equipment is out of service and must not be operated until the tag is removed by the person who performed the work and all safety conditions have been addressed. The yellow tag indicates restricted use or a warning that the equipment has a noncompliant condition and requires attention before it can be returned to full service. Always follow the exact procedures in the subchapter for completing and attaching these tags, including the information to record and where to place the tags. Other colors aren’t prescribed for this scenario, and skipping the tagging would leave potential hazards uncommunicated.
