With so many accidents occurring at home and on the job-site
due to lack of or misuse of warning labels CED/Accident Analysis Inc.
offers warning label design services to clientele. Our highly trained experts will
assist clients in examining the product as well as creating a warning
label that will best suit the product. All warning labels that are created
by CED/AAI’s engineers will follow the standards set by the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI). Some of these standards include
ANSI Z35.1 standard, titled “Specification for Accident Prevention
Signs” which captures some of the necessary requirements needed
for proper warning labels. The ANSI Z535 series is a set of separate
standards describing various warnings such as:
Safety color code
Environmental and facility safety signs
Criteria for safety symbols
Product safety signs and labels
Accident prevention tags (for temporary
hazards)
Warning labels should always be attached directly to the product in
a visible place. Every warning label should be permanent and should
remain clear
and visible over the life of the product.
Features of Warning Labels and Signs:
Warning label will have a distinctive background, different
from the surrounding area upon which it will be affixed
A message
area which identifies the hazard and indicates how it is avoided
or the consequence of not staying away from the hazard
Messages
could be in more than one language
Warning label or sign must
have a signal word displayed prominently; such words include
DANGER, WARNING or CAUTION
Proper warning label should have a symbol/pictorial
showing the specific danger
The correctly implemented
warning label will
result in a much
safer working and
home environment.
CED/AAI’s experts
want to assist you
in making that happen
by working with you
