Safety Alert Words
Four safety alert words appear in Life Technologies 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:
Definitions
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 Life
Technologies document appears with an open triangle figure that contains a
hazard symbol. These hazard symbols are identical to the hazard icons that are
affixed to Life Technologies instruments (see “Safety Symbols” on page 46).
