General Subjects (Auxiliaries & Systems) USCG Question #1700 (Set 26)

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

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — Only when the tags have been removed by an authorized person.

DANGER tags are critical safety devices used to prevent the accidental operation of equipment undergoing maintenance. They must never be bypassed or ignored. Only the authorized person who placed the tag, or a designated supervisor following strict lockout/tagout procedures, is permitted to remove the tag and restore equipment operation.
