Definitions Of Safety Terms And Symbols, Accident Prevention - Horst Welding CHCF25 Operator's Manual

Throughout this manual, the terms DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION are used to indicate the degree of hazard to personnel
if proper safety procedures are not followed. These words will be used in conjunction with the Safety Alert Symbol: a dark
triangle containing a white exclamation mark.
The Safety Alert Symbol means:

WARNING
Precautions that must be followed to prevent damage to equipment.
IMPORTANT
The safety information given in this manual does not replace any safety codes, insurance needs, federal, state and local laws.
The best safety device is a careful operator. Horst Welding
and your dealer ask that YOU be that careful, responsible
equipment operator.
Pay attention to the job at hand. Do not let your mind lose
concentration on what you are doing. No accident
prevention program can be successful without the
wholehearted cooperation of the person who is directly
responsible for the operation of the equipment.
If accidents are to be prevented (and accidents can be
prevented), that prevention will come from equipment
operators who accept their complete responsibility and
anticipate the results of their actions.
The designer, the manufacturer, and the safety engineer all
help create a safe product, but their combined efforts can
be wiped out with a single careless act by the operator of
that product.
Do not attempt to operate this equipment under the
influence of drugs or alcohol.
YOU ARE THE KEY TO SAFETY BECAUSE:
YOU are responsible for the SAFE operation and
maintenance of YOUR Header Wagon.
