safety warning

Danger notice sign

A safety warning is a notice alerting people to potential hazards or dangers.

These appear on products, in workplaces, and in documentation—anywhere something could cause harm if misused or mishandled: The safety warning on the ladder said not to stand on the top rung.

Safety warnings range from simple labels to detailed instructions about proper handling of chemicals, equipment, or medications.
