Safety Icons

The alert symbol is used to identity safety information about hazards that can result in personal injury. A signal word (DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION) is used with the alert symbol to indicate the likelihood and the potential severity of the injury. In addition, a hazard icon may be used to represent the type of hazard. An explanation of hazard levels and icons are as follows:

DANGER

This indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, will result in serious injury or death.

WARNING

This indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, could result in serial injury or death.

CAUTION

This indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, might result in minor or moderate injury.

CAUTION or NOTICE

These messages presented without the alert symbol indicate a situation where the unit or property could be damaged.
