oxygen enriched air. Failure to observe this warning can
result in severe fire, property damage and cause physical
injury or death.
SIGNAL WORD MEANING
DANGER
Danger indicates an imminently hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious
injury.
WARNING
Warning indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
