3M China危险警告标志使用指南 Introduction简介 Hazard warning labels are an important part of the health and safety controls provided on equipment to warn personnel of potential hazards associated with the equipment. Hazard warning labels should be used when hazards have not been eliminated from equipment through other means (e.g., a complete enclosure of the hazard to prevent exposure) and the potential for exposure to the hazards is still present. This applies both to hazards which can be present at all times during normal operating conditions and hazards which may be present only during specific conditions. Hazard warning labels should be used for the variety of hazards that can be present in equipment including the following: Electrical Moving parts Chemical Hot surfaces Non-ionizing radiation Lasers 危险警告标志是设备所能提供的健康及安全控制措施的重要组成部分之一，它能警告人们与设备伴随的潜在隐患。危险警告标志应用于通过其他手段不能完全消除设备隐患，并且仍存在有接触这些隐患的可能的情况下。这包括这些隐患会在整个正常操作条件下出现以及只会在特定条件下出现两种情况。 危险警告标志应用于下列会在设备中存在的不同隐患： 电 移动部件 化学品 高温表面 非电离辐射 激光 The selection of the specific labels to be used will depend on the types of hazards present in the equipment. 应根据出现在设备中的隐患的种类来选择所应采用的危险警告标志的类型。 This guide will address four basic issues related to the use of hazard warning labels: 本指南将说明使用危险警告标志的四个基本问题： When are labels required? 什么时候需要使用危险警告标志？ Where should the labels be placed? 危险警告标志应放在什么地方？ What format is required? 需要使用什么样的格式？ Examples of Warning Labels 危险警告标志范例 When are Labels Required?什么时候需要使用危险警告标志？ In general, labels are not an acceptable substitute for removing or controlling the hazard to safe levels with engineering controls. Labels should be provided as an additional warning when exposure to a hazard is possible during operations, maintenance or service, or other uses of the equipment. As an example, if a maintenance task requires removing a guard which provides protection against moving parts, the guard should be labeled because of the potential for injury from the moving parts. In this case, the hazard
