DEFINITION OF SAFETY TERMS AND SYMBOLS
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:
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
WILL result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
may result in minor or moderate injury;
May also be used to alert against unsafe practices which may result in personal injury.
ACCIDENTS CAN BE PREVENTED WITH
YOUR HELP!
No accident prevention program can be successful
without the wholehearted cooperation of the person
who is directly responsible for the operation of the
equipment.
To read equipment accident reports from all over
the country is to be convinced that a large number
of accidents can be prevented only by operators
who consistently anticipate the results of their
actions and thus prevent accidents from ever
occurring. No power-driven equipment, whether it
is on the highway, in a farm field, or in an industrial
plant, can be any safer than the person who is at
the controls.
If accidents are to be prevented (and accidents can
be prevented), that prevention will come from
equipment operators who accept their complete
responsibility.
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.
