Messages concerning personal injury

Messages concerning property damage

Safety alert messages call attention to potential safety hazards and tell you how to
avoid them. These messages are identified by the signal words DANGER, WARNING,
CAUTION, or NOTICE, as illustrated below. To avoid possible property damage,
personal injury, or in some cases possible death, read and comply with all safety alert
messages.
The signal words DANGER, 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.
DANGER
DANGER indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could
result in minor or moderate injury.
A NOTICE concerns property damage only.
NOTICE
NOTICE is used for advisory messages concerning possible property damage,
product damage or malfunction, data loss, or other unwanted results—but not
personal injury.
