What must a service person do after attaching a yellow tag?

• A. They must notify the building owner or representative and the local AHJ in writing of all noncompliant conditions.
• B. They must post a sign describing noncompliant conditions
• C. They must document the event but not notify anyone
• D. They must discharge the tag and continue operation

Answer: (A)

After placing a yellow tag, the service person must notify the building owner or their representative and the local AHJ in writing of all noncompliant conditions. The yellow tag signals that there are deficiencies that must be addressed before the system can be considered compliant, so formal written notice to the parties responsible ensures the issues are properly documented and corrective actions can be arranged and reinspected. Posting a sign or simply documenting without notifying authorities wouldn’t fulfill the required communication and oversight, and discharging the tag to keep operating would ignore the safety process for handling noncompliant conditions.
