Safety instructions
Where?
Structure?
We use uniform icons, terms and abbreviations in this documentation.
They will be explained in the following paragraphs.
Safety instructions call your attention specifically to danger potentials or
risks.
We distinguish among the following places where safety instructions
may be required:
• Basic safety instructions:
They are related to general important matters and apply to the com
plete documentation.
You will find these safety instructions in Section 2 from page 177.
• Preceding safety instructions:
They refer to topic-related matters and are provided at the beginning
of a chapter or at the beginning of a whole procedure.
• Integrated safety instructions:
They are related exactly to a separate procedure step and are
provided right before the relevant step within the procedure.
A safety instruction is always structured as follows:
• Warning sign (only in case of personal injury)
• Signal word to indicate the danger level
• Type and source of danger
• Consequences of failure to observe
• Action for averting danger.
Table 2:
Example for the structure of a safety instruction
Warning sign + SIGNAL WORD
Type and source of danger!
Consequences of failure to observe!
"
Action for averting danger!
"
Further action(s) for averting danger.
Integrated safety instructions may be embedded in the format of the
environment so that no "visual" break in the action sequence is pro
voked. Therefore they do not necessarily use the layout shown in the
example but they do use the indicated structure.
