Who typically conducts the tag out audits?

The responsibility for conducting tag out audits typically falls to Engineering Officers. This is mainly due to their expertise and familiarity with the systems and equipment that require tagging out for maintenance or repair. Tag out procedures are critical in ensuring the safety of personnel and the protection of equipment, and it is the Engineering Officers’ role to ensure these procedures are followed correctly to prevent accidents or equipment damage during maintenance processes.

While other roles may have involvement in safety protocols and inspections, Engineering Officers possess the specific technical knowledge and training necessary to effectively assess compliance with tagging procedures. This specialized focus on engineering systems and processes is what makes them the most suitable choice for performing tag out audits.
