Safety Instructions
Section
A
Every year accidents in the work place maim, kill and injure people. Although it may
be impossible to prevent all accidents, with the right combination of training, operating
practices, safety devices, and operator vigilance, the number of accidents can be
significantly reduced. The purpose of this section is to educate equipment users
about hazards, unsafe practices, and recommended hazard avoidance techniques.
SAFETY WORDS AND SYMBOLS
It is very important that operators and maintenance personnel understand the words
and symbols that are used to communicate safety information. Safety words, their
meaning and format, have been standardized for U.S. manufacturers and published
by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The European Community (E.C.)
has adopted a different format based on the International Standards Organization
(I.S.O.) and applicable machinery directives. Both formats are presented below.
Graphic symbols are not standardized, but most manufacturers will use some variation
of the ones seen in this manual.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not
avoided,
will result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
may result in minor or moderate injury and/or property damage.
Provides additional information that the operator needs to be
aware of to avoid a potentially hazardous situation.
