Product Safety Sign And Label System - Baker Hughes Consolidated 4900 Series Instruction Manual

I.

Product Safety Sign and Label System

If and when required, appropriate safety labels have been included in
the rectangular margin blocks throughout this manual. Safety labels are
vertically oriented rectangles as shown in the representative examples
(below), consisting of three panels encircled by a narrow border. The
panels
can contain four messages which communicate:
• The level of hazard seriousness
• The nature of the hazard
• The consequence of human, or product, interaction with the hazard.
• The instructions, if necessary, on how to avoid the hazard.
The top panel of the format contains a signal word (DANGER,
WARNING, CAUTION or ATTENTION) which communicates the level of
hazard seriousness.
The center panel contains a pictorial which communicates the nature
of the hazard, and the possible consequence of human or product
interaction with the hazard. In some instances of human hazards the
pictorial may, instead, depict what preventive measures to take, such as
wearing protective equipment.
The bottom panel may contain an instruction message on how to avoid
the hazard. In the case of human hazard, this message may also contain
a more precise definition of the hazard, and the consequences of human
interaction with the hazard, than can be communicated solely by the
pictorial.
