2.3 Signal Words
The signal words DANGER , WARNING and CAUTION
determine the seriousness level of the warning
messages in this manual. The appropriate signal word
for each message in this manual has been selected
using the following guidelines:
DANGER –
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that,
if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
This signal word is to be limited to the most extreme
situations typically for machine components which, for
functional purposes, cannot be guarded.
WARNING –
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury, and
includes hazards that are exposed when guards are
removed. It may also be used to alert against unsafe
practices.
CAUTION –
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not
avoided,
may
result in minor or moderate injury. It may
also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
IMPORTANT – To avoid confusing equipment
protection with personal safety messages, a signal
word IMPORTANT indicates a situation that if not
avoided, could result in damage to the machine.
NOTE:
(plus text) – indicates an additional
explanation for an element of information.
The
