That's why ANSI Z535 sets objective criteria to distinguish between the hazard levels (note "will" and "could")
DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. CAUTION, used with the safety alert symbol, indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury. -----Original Message----- From: dave.paw...@gmail.com [mailto:dave.paw...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Dave Pawson Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2016 4:25 AM To: Thomas Schraitle <tom_s...@web.de> Cc: docbook@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: Re: [docbook] Add "danger" to the list of possible admonitions?
