I started doing this anytime I have to do maintenance on systems. I point and call the name of the system and say “test” or “production” and other descriptive words like “web server” or “dmz” or whatever.

Slightly shortened: if [ "${IS_PROD}" = 1 -a "${COMMAND}" = upgrade -a "${I_KNOW_THIS_IS_PROD:-}" != yes ]; then echo "Not upgrading a productive region without I_KNOW_THIS_IS_PROD=yes." >&2 return 1 fi
