Alert Levels
There are three levels of alert notation used in our manuals. In descending order of importance, they are:
DANGER: Identifies an imminently hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, is likely to result in serious injury, and might result in fatality or
severe property damage.
WARNING: Identifies a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
will result in minor or moderate injury, and might result in serious injury, fatality, or significant property damage.
CAUTION: Identifies a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
might result in minor injury, moderate injury, or property damage.
Chapter 2: Safety
Alert Icons
The icon that starts each alert can be used to indicate the type of hazard. These will be used
with the appropriate signal word - Warning or Caution - to indicate the severity of the hazard.
The text following the signal word will specify what the risk is, and how to avoid it.
Table 2-1. Alert Icon Meaning
