SAfETY DEfINITIONS

The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to 
possible dangers. The safety symbols, and their explanations, 
deserve your careful attention and understanding. The safety 
warnings do not by themselves eliminate any danger. The 
instructions or warnings they give are not substitutes for proper 
accident prevention measures.

 

DANGER

DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, 
will result in death or serious injury.

 

WARNING

WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not 
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

 

CAUTION

CAUTION indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, 
could result in minor or moderate injury.

 

NOTICE

NOTICE indicates information considered important, but not 
hazard-related (e.g., messages relating to property damage).
