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 which
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, instead, 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.
