• Description:
  Many safety messages use the words Caution, Warning and Danger. Each sign has a color assigned to it to get your attention. There are universally accepted colors associated with each sign: caution signs are yellow, warning signs are orange and danger signs are red. Following are safety messages and their meanings, each of these signs will have a written message, and perhaps a picture, about an unsafe condition. CAUTION means you need to be careful. Follow the directions on the sign or you could get hurt. WARNING is more serious and means you need to follow the directions on the sign or you could be badly hurt or killed. DANGER is the most serious safety message. If you don't follow the directions, you will be seriously injured or killed. [Description provided by NIOSH]
