Which color tag denotes Oil and Gas Distribution and Transmission and dangerous materials?

• A. Safety Red
• B. Safety Alert Orange
• C. White
• D. Safety Pink

Answer: (B)

Color tags communicate what kind of underground utility or hazard is present, so crews can take appropriate precautions before digging. The orange tag is designated for Oil and Gas Distribution and Transmission lines and other dangerous materials, signaling especially careful handling and procedures. This helps crew members know to expect gas, oil, or other hazardous contents and to follow gas-specific safety measures. Other colors serve different purposes—red marks electric power lines and cables, white marks proposed excavation or property boundaries, and pink marks temporary surveying. So the orange tag best fits Oil and Gas Distribution and Transmission and dangerous materials.
