Structure of safety instructions
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
General structure
All safety instructions include a warning symbol and a signal word that classify the
danger, and a text block that contains descriptions of the type and cause of the danger,
the consequences of ignoring the safety instruction and the measures that can be taken
to minimise the danger.
Example:
Arcing can cause burns to the hands and damage to the eyes.
Ensure that the line circuit breaker on the Power Interface (PI) is in the "OFF"
position before removing or inserting the power supply plug.
Danger classification
There are three classes of safety instructions: "DANGER", "WARNING" and
"CAUTION". Which class is relevant depends on the consequences of ignoring the
safety instruction:
DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
