Safety Alert Symbols
The triangle with the exclamation point inside
is used to alert you to an important safety point
and is called a safety alert symbol. One of the
following signal words will appear after the safety alert
symbol:
• If the safety alert symbol is followed by the signal
word DANGER, it indicates a hazardous situa-
tion which, if not avoided, WILL lead to death or
serious injury.
• If the safety alert symbol is followed by the signal
word WARNING, it indicates a potentially hazard-
ous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result
in death or serious injury.
• If the safety alert symbol is followed by the signal
word CAUTION, it indicates a potentially hazard-
ous situation which, if not avoided, MAY result in
minor to moderate injury.
• The signal word CAUTION used without the safe-
ty alert symbol means the hazard COULD cause
damage to equipment or property.
The keywords listed above will be displayed throughout
the text of this manual in the form of information boxes
like the ones shown in (Figure 1).
The text in the black area of the information box will de-
scribe the hazard to beware of and the consequences
which can occur if that hazard is encountered.
All persons working near the concrete pump must be
able to recognize hazardous situations. They must
know how to avoid these situations and how to re-act
quickly and appropriately whenever hazardous situa-
tions arise.
