This manual applies the hazard identification methods suggested for instruction manuals by the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI). In accordance with ANSI guidelines for hazard identification language, this
manual classifies personal injury risks and situations that could lead to property damage with SIGNAL WORDS.
These signal words announce an associated safety message. The reader must understand that the signal word
chosen indicates the seriousness of that hazard according to the following convention:
Identifies a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL result in DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY. Use of this signal word is limited to the most extreme situations.
Identifies a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in MINOR or
MODERATE injury.
Identifies practices not related to personal injury, such as operation that could damage the cart.
No safety alert symbol (equilateral triangle enclosing an exclamation point) accompanies this
signal word.
