Understanding safety alert messages

Safety alert messages call attention to potential safety hazards and tell you how to

avoid them. These messages are identified by the signal words WARNING or

CAUTION, as illustrated below. To avoid possible property damage, personal injury, or

in some cases possible death, read and comply with all safety alert messages.

Messages concerning

personal injury

The signal words WARNING and CAUTION indicate hazards that could result in

personal injury or in some cases death, as explained below. Each of these signal

words indicates the severity of the potential hazard.

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, could result in minor or moderate

injury.

Safety symbols

The generic safety alert symbol

calls attention to a potential personal injury

hazard. It appears next to the WARNING and CAUTION signal words as part of the

signal word label. Other symbols may appear next to WARNING or CAUTION to

indicate a specific type of hazard (for example, fire or electric shock).
