Safety Labels
Duracable Manufacturing Company uses three signal words
on its safety labels and instructions. These words have the
following definitions:
A ‘Danger’ label indicates an imminently hazardous situation
that, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. This
signal word is to be limited to the most extreme situation,
typically for machine components that, for functional
purposes, cannot be guarded. The word ‘danger’ will be in
white letters on a red background.
A ‘Caution’ label indicates a potentially hazardous situation
that, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It
may also be used to alert against unsafe practices. The word
‘caution’ will be in black letters on a yellow background.
The safety label format includes the signal word and symbol,
a picture (not required), and the message.
A ‘Warning’ label indicates a potentially hazardous situation
that, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury, and
includes hazards that are exposed when guards are removed.
It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices. The word
‘warning’ will be in black letters on an orange background.
