Safety Label Information
The safety labels placed on today's products serve three essential purposes:
- To protect your workers and the public
- To provide legal defense in the event of an accident
- To comply with US and foreign safety codes and regulations
A product safety label must convey a critically important message to all kinds of people in every kind of
working situation - from the time a product is transported, installed and operating, to its decommission and final disposal.
Our safety labels protect workers from every kind of hazard: moving gears, rollers, pinch points, arc flash and more. To learn

Read Manual and Refer to Manual Labels
Clarion "refer to manual" labels help keep the critical warnings short and concise. One
of the first steps in the product risk assessment process is to distill what messages should be placed on the product's safety labels and what information
should go in the product's collateral material (e.g. instruction manuals, operating instructions, specification sheets). If you choose to use safety
labels for the most severe or imminent hazards and then place additional safety information in an operating manual, serious consideration should be given
to placing a "refer to manual" label on the product.
