For Oil and Gas Distribution and Transmission and dangerous materials, which color tag is used?

Explanation:
Color tagging uses a distinct palette so workers can instantly recognize what kind of underground facility is present and how to approach it. For Oil and Gas Distribution and Transmission lines, along with dangerous materials, the tag color used is safety orange. The bright orange stands out and is designated to signal higher risk and the need for heightened precautions—like verifying the line location with the operator, maintaining safe clearance, and using appropriate excavation methods and safety procedures. Other colors in the system mark different types of utilities or instructions, so orange specifically identifies oil and gas lines and hazardous materials in this context.
