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 Z535.6-2011, 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, could result in minor 
or moderate injury.

NOTICE

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