2.4.5 Danger during transport of the product
Chemical or biological substances may be spilled during the transport of
the product. Parts of the product may fall down or may be damaged.
There is a risk of injury from chemical or biological substances and pieces
of broken glass. To ensure safe transport, observe the following:
■ Remove loose parts (e.g. sample racks, sample vessels, bottles) before
transport.
■ Remove liquids.
■ Lift and transport the product with both hands on the base plate.
■ Lift and transport heavy products only according to instructions.
2.5 Design of warning messages
There are 4 hazard levels for warning messages. The following signal
words are used for classifying the hazard levels in warning messages:
■ DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will
result in serious injury or death.
■ WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in serious injury or death.
■ CAUTION indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could
result in minor or moderate injury.
■ NOTICE indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could
result in property damage.
Warning messages differ in design (color and warning sign) depending on
the hazard level:
DANGER
Type and source of danger
Consequences when not observing the notice: An irreversible injury
that may result in death is very probable.
