Which tag indicates precautionary measures to provide temporary instructions?

• A. Danger tag
• B. Out-of-commission label
• C. Caution tag
• D. Out-of-calibration

Answer: (C)

Precautionary measures that are temporary are conveyed by a caution tag. In safety tagging, different tags communicate different meanings: a danger tag marks an immediate, severe hazard that must be avoided; an out-of-commission label shows equipment isn’t available for use; an out-of-calibration tag indicates a tool or instrument isn’t within required calibration and shouldn’t be used for accurate readings. The caution tag is specifically used to indicate temporary precautions or instructions to be followed to stay safe while work is ongoing or changes are being made. That’s why it’s the best fit for providing temporary instructions.
