Messages concerning personal injury
Messages concerning property damage
Safety symbols
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 indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death
or serious injury.
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.
NOTICE is used for messages concerning possible property damage, product damage or
malfunction, data loss, or other unwanted results—but not personal injury.
The generic safety alert symbol
appears next to the DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION signal words as part of the signal
word label. Other symbols may appear next to DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION to indicate
calls attention to a potential personal injury hazard. It
