WAC 296-900-15030   Tag moveable equipment.  

     You must:

     • Tag moveable equipment that has been cited to warn employees if a hazard has not been corrected, as follows:

     – Attach a warning tag or a copy of the citation to the equipment's operating controls or to the cited component.

     ▪ For hand-held equipment, tag it immediately after you receive a citation.

     ▪ For other equipment, tag it before moving it within the worksite or between worksites.

Note:

The tag should warn employees about the nature of the violation and tell them where the citation is posted.

Reference:

For a sample tag that meets this requirement, go to helpful tools, sample tag for cited moveable equipment, in the resources section of this chapter.

     You must:

     • Make sure that the tag or copy of the citation attached to movable equipment is not altered, defaced, or covered by other materials.

     • Keep the tag or copy of the citation attached to movable equipment until one of the following occurs:

     – Violations have been corrected and all certification documents have been submitted to WISHA.

     – Cited equipment is permanently removed from service.

     – The final order from an appeal vacates (voids) the violation.

Note:

Safety standards for construction work, chapter 296-155 WAC, has information on warning tags. You can use warning tags that meet those requirements instead of the warning tags required by this rule.
