Safety Alert Symbols

Safety Alert Symbols indicate DANGER,  WARNING, or CAUTION. These
symbols may be used in conjunction with other symbols or pictographs.
Failure to obey a safety warning will result in serious injury to yourself or to
others. Always follow the safety precautions to reduce the risk of electric shock
and personal injury.

DANGER:

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious injury. This signal word
is to be limited to the most extreme situations.

WARNING:

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION:

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.  It may also
be used to alert against unsafe practices.

Product Safety Signs and Labels

The purpose of product safety signs and labels is to attract your attention to
possible dangers. The safety symbols, signal words and the explanations with
them, deserve your careful attention and understanding. The safety warnings
do not by themselves eliminate any danger. The instructions or warnings they
give are not substitutes for proper accident-prevention measures.
