Safety Message Conventions
Safety messages are provided to help prevent personal injury and equipment damage. All safety
messages are introduced by a signal word indicating the hazard level.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious
injury to the operator or to bystanders.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury to the operator or to bystanders.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in moderate or minor
injury to the operator or to bystanders.
Safety messages contain three different type styles.
• Normal type states the hazard.
• Bold type states how to avoid the hazard.
• Italic type states the possible consequences of not avoiding the hazard.
An icon, when present, gives a graphical description of the potential hazard.
Example:
Risk of unexpected vehicle movement.
• Block drive wheels before performing a test with engine running.
A moving vehicle can cause injury.
