avoided, is likely to result in serious injury, and might result in fatality or
severe property damage.

will result in minor or moderate injury, and might result in serious injury, fatal-
ity, or significant property damage.
!
CAUTION: Identifies a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
might result in minor injury, moderate injury, or property damage.
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 - Danger, 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.
