4 Fluorometer User Guide
Four safety alert words appear in Thermo Fisher Scientific user documentation at
points in the document where you need to be aware of relevant hazards. Each
alert word—IMPORTANT, CAUTION, WARNING, DANGER—implies a
particular level of observation or action, as defined below:
IMPORTANT! – Provides information that is necessary for proper
instrument operation, accurate installation, or safe use of a chemical.
CAUTION! – Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to
alert against unsafe practices.
WARNING! – Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
DANGER! – Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious injury. This signal word is to be
limited to the most extreme situations.
Except for IMPORTANT! safety alerts, each safety alert word in a Thermo Fisher
Scientific document appears with an open triangle figure that contains a hazard
symbol. These hazard symbols are identical to the hazard symbols that are affixed
to Thermo Fisher Scientific instruments (see “Safety symbols” in Appendix C).
The Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) for any chemicals supplied by Thermo Fisher
Scientific are available to you free 24 hours a day. For instructions on obtaining
SDSs, see “Safety Data Sheets (SDS)”.
IMPORTANT! For the SDSs of chemicals not distributed by Thermo
Fisher Scientific contact the chemical manufacturer.
