Product Safety Signs and Labels
The purpose of product safety signs and labels is to draw your attention
to possible dangers. The safety symbols, signal words, and the explanations
with them, 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.
