Decide whether to implement a green/yellow/red scaffold tagging system for OSHA compliance

Steps

1. Verify OSHA has no regulation mandating scaffold tags (checked 1926.451/1926.454 current text -- no tag mandate found; only the competent-person inspection duty exists).
2. Note that 1926.200(h)(1) requires warning tags on hazards generally, but this is not a scaffold-specific tag color code.
3. If adopting a voluntary tag system, define what each color means in a written program (e.g., green = inspected/safe, yellow = restricted use, red = do not use) with sign-off from the competent person.
4. Update or replace the tag whenever the scaffold's status changes, after each competent-person inspection or after a reportable event.
5. Train users to check the tag before mounting and to never remove or alter a tag except the competent person.
