1.0  MEANING OF SAFETY SIGNAL WORDS

A safety related message is identifi ed by a safety alert symbol and a signal word to indicate the level of risk involved with a 
particular hazard. Per ANSI standard Z535.6-2006, the defi nitions of the four signal words are as follows:

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 potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor 
or moderate injury.

NOTICE

NOTICE is used to address practices not related to personal injury.
