When to use it

Attach the moment equipment fails inspection or is unsafe, to take it out of service immediately.

The red BAD EQUIPMENT tag is an unmistakable stop signal: this machine or part has failed and must not be used. High-visibility red keeps failed equipment from being put back into service by mistake, and the fields document who tagged it, when, where, and why.
