What does a green tag on equipment signify?

• A. The item has been inspected and is safe to use.
• B. The item is scheduled for service next year.
• C. The item is flagged for replacement.
• D. The item is non-operational.

Answer: (A)

A green tag means the equipment has been inspected and is safe to use. It indicates that, at the time of inspection, no defects were found and the gear meets safety standards for operation. Remember to still perform your own quick pre-use check before relying on it, and if the tag is missing or unreadable, treat the item as not ready for use until re-inspected. Contrast: red tags denote out of service or defective gear, while yellow tags usually signal the item needs service or further inspection before it can be used.
