If and when required, appropriate safety labels have been included in the 

rectangular margin blocks throughout this manual. Safety labels are vertically 

oriented rectangles as shown in the 

representative examples

 (below), consisting 

of three panels encircled by a narrow border. The panels can contain four 

messages that communicate:
•  The level of hazard seriousness
•  The nature of the hazard
•  The consequence of human, or product, interaction with the hazard.
•  The instructions, if necessary, on how to avoid the hazard.

The top panel of the format contains a signal word (DANGER, WARNING, 

CAUTION or ATTENTION) which communicates the level of hazard 

seriousness.

The center panel contains a pictorial which communicates the nature of the 

hazard, and the possible consequence of human or product interaction with 

the hazard. In some instances of human hazards the pictorial may depict what 

preventive measures to take, such as wearing protective equipment.

The bottom panel may contain an instruction message on how to avoid the 

hazard. In the case of human hazard, this message may also contain a more 

precise definition of the hazard, and the consequences of human interaction 

with the hazard, than can be communicated solely by the pictorial.

I.  Product Safety Sign and Label System

Wear necessary 

protective equipment to 

prevent possible injury.
