Once a safety state transition step has been recorded, executing (completing) the step causes the Execute Safety Step dialog box to be displayed. This dialog box looks just like the original safety document dialog box except that it has no toolbar and it displays two buttons: Execute and Cancel. Use this dialog box to verify that the safety document information is correct, and then click Execute to execute the step.

When a tag step with an associated safety document is executed, the Control Tool executes placement of the appropriate tag (Hold, Clearance, and so on) on the asset. The symbol on the asset indicates that a condition exists on the asset, that the area has not been issued to the crew, and is not yet isolated. After the safety document has been issued, the symbol on the asset changes to indicate that the tag is under the control of the safety document. For example, if configured in your project, a Hold tag may change to indicate Hold with a small lock symbol next to it. When a tag changes to a locked state, the safety document must be released before the tags can be removed using the Control Tool. Likewise, when the safety document is transitioned to the Unissued state, the tag symbols on the assets will change to indicate that they are still part of an active safety document, but are in a state to where they can be removed; they are allowed to be removed so that the zone of coverage for the safety document can be altered while in the Unissued state.
