If and when required, appropriate safety labels have been included in
the rectangular margin blocks throughout this manual. Safety labels are
vertically oriented rectangles as shown in the
representative examples
(below), consisting of three panels encircled by a narrow border. The
panels can contain four messages which communicate:
• The level of hazard seriousness
• The nature of the hazard
• The consequence of human, or product, interaction with the hazard.
• The instructions, if necessary, on how to avoid the hazard.
The top panel of the format contains a signal word (
DANGER, WARNING,
CAUTION
or
ATTENTION
) which communicates the level of hazard
seriousness.
The center panel contains a pictorial which communicates the nature of
the hazard, and the possible consequence of human or product interaction
with the hazard. In some instances of human hazards the pictorial may,
instead, depict what preventive measures to take, such as wearing
protective equipment.
The bottom panel may contain an instruction message on how to avoid
the hazard. In the case of human hazard, this message may also contain
a more precise definition of the hazard, and the consequences of human
interaction with the hazard, than can be communicated solely by the
pictorial.
