SAFETY ALERT SYMBOLS AND SIGNAL WORDS
The following safety alert symbols, signals, and explanations are intended to warn the

The triangle with the exclamation point inside is used to alert the operator to an important
safety point, and is called a safety alert symbol. One of the following signal words will
appear after the safety alert symbol:
If the safety alert symbol is followed by the signal word DANGER, the safety alert
symbol indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL lead to death or
serious injury.
If the safety alert symbol is followed by the signal word WARNING, the safety alert
symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result
in death or serious injury.
If the safety alert symbol is followed by the signal word CAUTION, the safety alert
symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result
in minor to moderate injury.
The signal word CAUTION, but without safety alert symbol means the safety symbol alert
addresses a hazard which, if not avoided, COULD cause damage to equipment or
property.
