Tag-out Logs Tag-out logs are used to control the entire tag-out procedure. The number of tag-out logs required depends on ship size. For example, a minesweeper may only require one tag-out log for the whole ship, while a major surface combatant may require a separate log for each department. Individual force commanders specify the number of logs various ship classes must maintain and what areas of the ship must maintain them. On ships maintaining more than one tag-out log, authorizing officers must exchange information on tag-out actions. When a tag-out affects other authorizing officers, the initiating party obtains verbal permission from those officers to tag out the system or equipment in question before the tag out is authorized. Examples of systems that may require such coordination are ship service electrical distribution, hydraulics, air, ventilation, and air-conditioning chill water systems. The tag-out log is a record of authorization of each effective tag-out action. It contains the following documents: 1. A copy of the main instruction and any other amplifying directives for administering the system. These documents are kept in the front of the log. 2. A DANGER/CAUTION tag-out index and record of audits (index/audit record). The index/audit record provides a sequential list of all tag outs and ensures serial numbers are sequentially issued. They are used in audits of the log as well to provide a ready reference of existing tag outs. The cognizant department head may remove the index pages with all tag outs listed as cleared. 3. Cleared DANGER/CAUTION tag-out record sheets that have been cleared and completed. These sheets are kept in the log until received and removed by the cognizant department head. Tags in a common system (for example, ship’s radar or a fire-control system) are logged on one DANGER/CAUTION tag-out record sheet. Subsequent sheets on the same system are kept together.
