Design of safety instructions
Safety instructions indicate a personal health hazard. We distinguish be-
tween three different levels: danger, warning, and caution. All three
safety instructions are marked with the same warning symbol. The signal
word is shown next to the symbol. The safety instructions used are de-
scribed below.
Structure of safety instructions
The safety information or warning can include:
– Warning symbol and designation of the safety instruction (signal
word): Danger, Warning, or Caution
– Source and cause of the danger
– Consequences for the user due to non-observance of the safety in-
struction
– Required measures to be taken by the user to avoid possible conse-
quences
– A measure may cause an intermediate result.
– At the end of all measures, a final result may be obtained.
