Which symbol indicates a discrepancy exists on equipment, but is not urgent to ground?

• A. Red X
• B. Red C
• C. Red Dash
• D. Red Diagonal

Answer: (D)

In this tagging system, symbols on equipment convey both what is wrong and how urgent the action is. The red diagonal mark signaling a discrepancy exists but is not urgent to ground means there is a known issue, but it doesn’t require immediately shutting down or grounding the unit; the equipment can remain in service under appropriate controls while the corrective action is planned or performed. This contrasts with a symbol that denotes an unsafe or complete fault that requires immediate grounding and removal from service. The other marks indicate different statuses or action levels, but the diagonal specifically communicates a non-urgent discrepancy awaiting follow-up.
