Webinar Announcement: Maximizing Your On-Product Warnings -Understanding Symbol-Based Warnings in Modern Equipment Design
As machinery and equipment designs evolve for global markets, so do expectations around product safety labeling. Manufacturers are increasingly faced with questions about symbol-only and wordless warnings, standards harmonization, and how on-product warnings fit into a broader risk reduction strategy.
To help address these challenges, our team here at Clarion Safety Systems is hosting a free educational webinar focused on modern approaches to on-product warnings for machinery and equipment.
WEBINAR DETAILS
Title: Maximizing Your On-Product Warnings: Understanding Symbol-Based Warnings in Modern Equipment Design
Date: Tuesday, January 27, 2026
Time: 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM EST
Format: Live, online webinar with Q&A
What This Webinar Will Cover
This session explores how ANSI Z535.4 and ISO 3864-2 are applied in real-world product safety labeling, with a specific focus on symbol-only and wordless label formats. These formats often raise questions for manufacturers, particularly around when they are appropriate, how they should be designed, and how they support overall product safety objectives.
Topics include:
How symbol-only and wordless labels are addressed within ANSI and ISO standards
Common misunderstandings about symbol use and effectiveness
How safety labels function within the hierarchy of controls
The role of warnings alongside engineering controls and safeguarding
Considerations for global audiences and standardized symbols
The webinar will also address the upcoming 2027 ANSI Z535 revision cycle, including why periodic standards review matters and how manufacturers can prepare for potential updates that may impact product safety labeling practices.
Why This Topic Matters Now
As global distribution increases and regulatory expectations continue to evolve, manufacturers must balance clarity, compliance, and usability in their on-product warnings. Understanding how warnings support safeguarding, rather than replace it, is essential for reducing risk, improving user comprehension, and managing liability.
This session is designed to provide practical insight for OEMs, engineers, EHS professionals, and product safety decision-makers responsible for warnings, instructions, and compliance.
