How long are Danger/Caution tag-out record sheets maintained?

Danger/Caution tag-out record sheets are maintained for a period of 6 months to ensure that all relevant safety information is properly documented and accessible for review. This timeframe allows for an adequate window in which any issues related to the tags can be addressed, making sure that personnel have the necessary oversight during operational and maintenance activities. The retention period is designed to support safety audits and compliance checks while still being manageable for record-keeping purposes. Maintaining these records for 6 months strikes a balance between operational efficiency and safety oversight, fostering a culture of accountability in managing hazardous conditions.
