Be Aware of Signal Words
Signal words designate a degree or
level of hazard seriousness. The sig-
nal words are:
Indicates an imminently hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury. This
signal word is limited to the most
extreme
situations, typically for
machine components that, for func-
tional purposes, cannot be guarded.
Indicates a potentially hazardous sit-
uation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury, and
includes hazards that are exposed
when guards are removed. It may
also be used to alert against unsafe
practices.
Indicates a potentially hazardous sit-
uation which, if not avoided, may
result in minor or moderate injury. It

Look for Safety Symbol
The SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indi-
cates there is a potential hazard to
personal safety involved and extra
safety precaution must be taken.
When you see this symbol, be alert
and carefully read the message that
follows it. In addition to design and configuration of equipment, hazard
control and accident prevention are
dependent upon the awareness, con-
cern, prudence and proper training of
personnel involved in the operation,
transport, maintenance and storage
of equipment.
