SYMBOL NAME FUNCTION/USE

- The numerical definition of "high voltage"

depends on context. Two factors considered in
classifying a voltage as "high voltage" are the
possibility of causing a spark in air, and the
HIGH VOLTAGE danger of electric shock by contact or proximity.
1.
The definitions may refer to the voltage between
two conductors of a system, or between any
conductor and ground. This symbol restricts an
invidual to having a contact with objects that has
a high voltage.

- A caution symbol that warns an invidual to avoid

having contact with materials that ignites easily
2. and burns rapidly with a flame, or a material with
FLAMMABLE
flash point below an arbitrary temperature limit
of 50°C (122°F). Used to be also called
inflammable.
 - It is a warning symbol that tells an individual that
an arc flash is present in a room or an object.
An arc flash (also called a flashover) is the light
and heat produced as part of an arc fault, a type
3. ARC FLASH of electrical explosion or discharge that results
from a low-impedance connection through air to
ground or another voltage phase in an electrical
system.

- It is a warning symbol denoting a device's

susceptibility to electrostatic discharge.
ELECTROSTATIC DEVICE LABEL/
4. ESD LABEL
 - It is a symbol which restricts an individual to
DO NOT EXPOSE TO WATER
exposing plugs to water to keep the operation
5. safe and harmless.

- It is a warning symbol that prevents an individual

from touching an object that causes an electric
ELECTRIC SHOCK LABEL
shock or a sudden discharge of electricity through
6.

 - It is a symbol that restricts an individual to having
contact with electrical equipments in a workplace
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT HAZARD
that may possibly harm him/her.
7.

- It is a caution symbol that warns an individual

OVERHEAD POWER LINES
that power lines below and above 300 volts are
8. present within 12 feet and 15 feet, respectively.
 - A Disconnect Main Plug Label is a symbol which
DISCONNECT MAIN PLUG tells an individual to unplug the main plug for a
9. safe and unharmful operation.

- It is a warning symbol that alerts an individual to

the hazards that a battery may cause which are
as follows: A.Battery acid: The electrolyte in a
battery is corrosive and can burn skin or eyes, eat
holes in clothing, or even etch a concrete floor. B.
BATTERY HAZARD Flammable gases: Batteries emit hydrogen gas,
which is flammable. It ignites easily and can
cause a fire or explosion if allowed to accumulate
10. in a small area. C. Electrical shock: Many of us are
aware of this danger because we may have seen
sparks fly when jumper cables are attached to a
car battery. D. Weight: Batteries, like those used
in forklifts, are heavy and require proper material
handling equipment to lift them safely.
 - Alert employees and contractors to the presence
of buried electric and fiber optic cables with a
11. Buried Cable Marker. With bright graphics and
UNDERGROUND CABLE
bold lettering, these signs indicate the presence
of underground cables.
