Under what circumstances could equipment be operated when tagged with DANGER tags?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Lock-out/Tag-out (LOTO) safety principles • The purpose and meaning of a DANGER tag versus a CAUTION or OUT-OF-SERVICE tag • Who, if anyone, is allowed to remove or override a danger tag

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself what a DANGER tag is intended to protect against and how serious the consequences could be if it’s ignored • Consider whether anyone—supervisor, engineer, or crew—has authority to operate equipment that someone has tagged DANGER for maintenance or safety reasons • Think about whether a temporary pause in maintenance changes the underlying hazard that caused the DANGER tag to be applied

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether DANGER tags ever permit operation of equipment as long as someone else approves it • Check if personal safety lock/tag rules allow anyone other than the person who applied the tag to authorize operation • Confirm whether a break in maintenance actually removes the hazard or simply pauses the work while the danger remains present
