Without danger labels our lives would be in mortal danger. A danger label cautions an individual about a perceived threat in the workplace, at home or when you are out and about.
Companies use danger labels to ward off potential accidental mishaps in the workplace or on company property. Avoiding fatal accidents in the workplace is the number one concern for an employer.
Whether it’s the workplace, home or the amusement park, danger labels are placed in conspicuous spots to warn those near a potential hazard. A danger label can warn people about a host of hazards: crush, impact and pinching areas, environmental hazards, corrosive hazard, dangerous fumes, bio-hazard, heat and fire caution, cutting and puncture hazard, eye protection, or dangerous high voltage.
A danger label is often required for equipment, machinery and chemicals. This label warns the user about the risks of not using the equipment or chemicals properly. A label can notify its user how to properly start, operate, and shut down a piece of equipment. From generators, balers, to high-voltage fuse boxes, a danger label is affixed to the surface of the device for maximum visibility.
Telecommunications, medical, manufacturing, military and aerospace are just a few industries mandated by the government to display danger labels in the workplace on equipment and products. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA, is the safety regulatory and compliance agency of the federal government. OSHA inspects those industries to ensure they are adhering to federal safety and regulatory guidelines.
Danger labels are also rated by the International Organization for Standardization and The American National Standards Institute. Both nonprofits develop safety compliance standards for a variety of products on the market for consumer and business to business sales. In the case of danger signs and labels they specify the sign size, text size and placement.
