Figure 1-13.—Instrument Log. transferred  to  this  section  of  the  log  until  they  are reviewed and removed by the department head. TAG-OUT INFORMATION A  tag-out  procedure  is  necessary  because  of  the complexity of modem ships and the cost, delays, and hazards to personnel that can result from the improper operation  of  equipment.  Learn  and  use  the  following guidelines: 1. Enforce the tag-out procedure at all times. You must do this during normal operations as well as during construction, testing, repair, or maintenance. 2.   Do not use tags or labels as a substitute for other safety  measures.  Examples  are  chaining  or  locking valves, removing fuses, or racking out circuit breakers. However,  you  must  attach  tags  to  the  fuse  panel,  the racked-out circuit breaker cabinet, or a locked valve to show  a  need  for  action.  You  do  not  need  to  use  tags where a device will be locked during normal operations. 3.  Use  tags  to  show  the  presence  of,  and  the requirement for, freeze seals, blank flanges, or similar safety  devices.  When  equipment  or  components  are placed out of commission, use the tag-out procedures to control the status of the affected equipment. Examples are  disconnecting  electrical  leads,  providing  jumpers,  or pulling fuses for testing or maintenance. 4.  Never  use  tag-outs  to  identify  valves,  to  mark leaks,  or  for  any  purpose  not  specified  in  the  tag-out procedure. 5.  Do  not  laminate  tags  or  labels  for  reuse.  The reuse of tags or labels is not allowed. 1-14
