What is the proper flagging equipment for daytime use?

For daytime use, the appropriate flagging equipment is a red flag and fusees. The red flag is widely recognized as a signal to indicate danger or to alert others to stop or proceed with caution around work zones or railway operations. It is a standard color used in many safety applications, including railways, to signify warnings effectively.

Fusees, which are illuminating devices usually flares that emit bright colored smoke or light, complement the red flag in ensuring visibility and awareness of potential hazards in the environment. The combination of a red flag, signifying the warning, along with fusees helps enhance safety by providing both visibility and a clear message to those in the vicinity about the need for caution.

Other options may include various other colors that may not conform to established safety standards for daytime signaling, such as white, yellow, or green, which do not have the same universally understood connotation as warning devices. Thus, using a red flag and fusees is essential for ensuring that safety precautions are clearly communicated during the day.
