A caution tag is used to communicate temporary safety instructions while equipment is out of service or under maintenance. It tells people what precautions to take or what actions must be followed to stay safe, until the work is finished and the tag is removed. It is not a permanent prohibition, nor is it a record of maintenance history, and it doesn’t indicate that the work is complete. The tag helps prevent accidental operation by clearly signaling ongoing work and the specific precautions required until conditions are restored.
