3.   Engineering officer of the watch (EOOW)–This individual   may   be   either   the   EOOW   or   the   EDO, depending on engineering plant conditions. 4.   Officer of the deck (OOD)–This individual may be either the OOD or the ship’s duty officer, depending on the ship’s condition. 5.  CAUTION  tag  (See  fig.  1-6.)–This  is  a YELLOW   tag   used   as   a   precautionary   measure.   It provides  temporary  special  instructions  or  warns  that unusual caution must be used to operate the equipment. These  instructions  must  state  exactly  why  the  tag  is installed. Use of phrases such as “DO NOT OPERATE WITHOUT EOOW PERMISSION” is not appropriate. Yellow   tagged   equipment   or   systems   must   not   be operated  without  permission  from  the  responsible supervisor.  The  CAUTION  tag  may  not  be  used  if personnel  or  equipment  can  be  endangered  while working  under  normal  operating  procedures.  In  such cases, a DANGER tag must be used. 6.   DANGER tag (See fig. 1-7.)–This is a RED tag that  prohibits  the  operation  of  equipment  that  could jeopardize   the   safety   of   personnel   or   endanger equipment,  systems,  or  components.  Equipment  may not   be   operated   or   removed   when   tagged   with DANGER tags. 7.   OUT-OF-CALIBRATION   labels   (See   fig. 1-8.)–These  are  ORANGE  labels  used  to  identify instruments that are out of calibration and do not give accurate   readings.   These   labels   warn   that   the instruments may be used for system operation, but only with extreme caution. 8.   OUT-OF-COMMISSION   labels   (See   fig. 1-9)–These  are  RED  labels  used  to  identify  instruments that  will  not  give  accurate  readings  because  they  are either  defective  or  isolated  from  the  system.  The instruments  should  not  be  used  until  they  have  been recertified for use. 9.  Repair  activity–This  is  any  activity  other  than the  ship’s  force  that  is  involved  in  the  construction, testing,  repair,  overhaul,  refueling,  or  maintenance  of the   ship   (intermediate   or   depot   level   maintenance activities). 10.  Ship’s  force–These  are  personnel  who  are assigned   to   the   ship   and   are   responsible   for   the maintenance  and  operation  of  the  ship’s  systems  and equipment. Only qualified personnel are authorized to make  a  tag-out. 11. Tag-out log–This is the control document used to administer the entire tag-out procedure. Figure  1-8.–Out-of-calibration  label. Figure 1-9.–Out-of-commision label. TAG-OUT LOGS The number of tag-out logs on a ship depends on the ship’s   size.   For   example,   a   minesweeper   or nonnuclear-powered   submarine   may   need   only   one tag-out  log;  a  major  surface  combatant  may  need  a separate log for each major department. Individual force commanders  specify  the  number  of  logs  needed  and their  location. A tag-out log is a record of authorization for each tag-out action. It includes the following information: 1.  A  copy  of  OPNAVINST  3120.32B  and  any amplifying directives needed to administer the system. 2.  The  DANGER/CAUTION  Tag-out  Index  and Record  of  Audit  (Index/Audit  Record).  This  is  a sequential list of all tag-outs issued. It provides a ready reference  of  existing  tag-outs,  ensures  that  serial numbers  are  issued  sequentially,  and  is  useful  in conducting audits of the log. A sample of this index is shown in figure 1-10. Index pages with all tag-outs listed as cleared may be removed by the department head. 3.   DANGER/CAUTION   Tag-out   Record   Sheet (figs. 1-11 and 1-12). All tags that have been used in the tag-out  of  a  particular  system  are  logged  on  one DANGER/CAUTION  tag-out  record  sheet  along  with the reason for the tag-out. All effective sheets are kept in one section of the log. 4.  Instrument  Log  (fig.  1-13).  Labels  used  with OUT-OF-CALIBRATION    and    OUT-OF-COM- MISSION  instruments  are  logged  in  the  instrument  log. 5.  Cleared  DANGER/CAUTION  Tag-out  Record Sheets. Sheets that have been cleared and completed are 1-11
