What signal word can be used on safety labels meant for equipment damage or practices not related to personal injury?
If your safety labels are intended to warn persons about hazards that could result in only equipment damage or practices not related to personal injury, the signal word NOTICE (white letters on a safety blue background) should be used. NOTICE is the preferred ANSI Z535 signal word for this purpose. Note that the safety alert symbol is not used with this signal word because this symbol is only to be used where personal injury is at stake. As an alternate, the signal word CAUTION may be used without the safety alert symbol up to 2011 when this option will be eliminated from the ANSI Z535 standards. Note: DANGER or WARNING should not be considered for property damage accidents unless personal injury risk appropriate to these levels is also involved.
