extreme situations. DANGER [signs] should not be used
for property damage hazards unless personal injury risk
appropriate to these levels is also involved.
WARNING:
Indicate[s] a hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
WARNING [signs] should not be used for property
damage hazards unless personal injury risk appropriate
to this level is also involved.
CAUTION:
Indicate[s] a hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

NOTICE:
[this header is] preferred to address practices
not related to personal injury. The safety alert symbol
shall not be used with this signal word. As an
alternative to “NOTICE” the word “CAUTION” without
the safety alert symbol may be used to indicate a
message not related to personal injury.
