🔍 Key Concepts

• Tag-out/lock-out programs and why different tags exist (Danger vs Caution vs others) • Standard safety color codes used for hazard communication (e.g., danger, caution, safety) • The purpose of a CAUTION tag compared to a tag that prohibits operation completely

💭 Think About

• Think about what level of hazard a CAUTION tag usually represents: is it an absolute prohibition or a warning to use care? • Recall common workplace safety signage: what color is normally used for CAUTION signs or tape? • Match the meaning of each color option (orange, yellow, red, green) with its usual safety meaning and see which one best fits a CAUTION tag.

✅ Before You Answer

• Match red with its typical meaning in safety systems (often associated with DANGER/Do Not Operate) and decide if that fits a CAUTION tag • Recall what color is commonly used on caution tape and caution road/work signs and compare to the options • Eliminate any color that is normally associated with safety/first aid rather than warning (think about green)
