SAFETY
DANGERS, WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, and NOTICES
Both in this manual and within the boat you will notice DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, or
NOTICE symbols which point out potential hazards.
Warning standards and guidelines utilize the ANSI (American National Standards Institute)
standards. The list below explains the meaning of each symbol as defined in ANSI document
Z535.5.Safety Tags And Barricade Tapes (for Temporary Hazards) .
• Danger: Indicate[s] a hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious injury. The signal
word "DANGER" is to be limited to the most 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. CAUTION
[signs] without a safety alert symbol may be used to alert
against unsafe practices that can result in property damage
only.
• 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.
