AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Under NO circumstances should the equipment be operated when tagged. This is the correct answer because when equipment is tagged with a "DANGER" tag, it indicates that the equipment is unsafe to operate and should not be used. Danger tags are used to warn personnel of a hazardous condition that could result in injury or death if the equipment is operated. Regulations and safety protocols strictly prohibit the operation of any equipment that has been tagged for maintenance, repair, or other safety reasons. The other options are incorrect because they would involve the unsafe operation of tagged equipment, which is a violation of established safety practices.
