DANGER — Immediate hazards
which WILL result in severe personal
injury or death.
WARNING — Hazards or unsafe
practices which COULD result in
severe personal injury or death.
CAUTION — Hazards or unsafe
practices which COULD result in
minor personal injury.
ATTENTION — Hazards or unsafe
practices which COULD result in
product or property damage.
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.
