On a tagout record sheet what signature is only required when personnel other than the ships force are involved with maintenance of the ship?

• A. The supervisor's signature
• B. A warning tag for equipment that is undergoing service
• C. A permit to work form
• D. The crew member's initials

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that a tagout record sheet uses a warning tag to mark equipment that is under service and to communicate who is responsible for or overseeing that work. When maintenance involves personnel other than the ship’s crew, the warning tag becomes the focal point for showing that outside personnel are present and that the equipment must not be re-energized or operated until the work is completed and the tag is removed properly. The other options either describe documents or actions that are not tied specifically to outside involvement (for example, crew initials are used for any work, and a permit to work form is a broader authorization tool that isn’t a signature on the tagout record itself). So the signature associated with indicating outside maintenance on the tagout record sheet is the one tied to the warning tag on the equipment.
