The GHS07 exclamation mark pictogram identifies harmful or irritating effects such as skin or eye irritation, skin sensitization, less-severe acute toxicity, respiratory tract irritation, or narcotic effects that still require controlled handling and exposure prevention.

The GHS08 health hazard pictogram identifies chemicals associated with serious chronic or systemic effects such as carcinogenicity, respiratory sensitization, reproductive toxicity, target-organ toxicity, germ-cell mutagenicity, or aspiration hazard.

The GHS09 environment pictogram identifies substances and mixtures that are hazardous to the aquatic environment, including materials with acute or chronic toxicity to aquatic organisms or persistence concerns that require release prevention.

The ISO W002 explosive material sign warns that explosive material or a comparable blast hazard is present and that ignition, impact, friction, static discharge, or unauthorized handling could trigger a violent event.

The ISO W011 slippery surface sign warns that a walking or working surface may be slippery because of water, oils, ice, process residue, cleaning activity, or temporary contamination that increases the likelihood of a slip incident.

The ISO W021 flammable material sign warns that flammable material is present and that heat, sparks, open flame, static discharge, or hot surfaces could ignite the material and start a rapidly developing fire.

The ISO P001 general prohibition sign signifies that an action is prohibited and that the exact banned activity must be defined by supplementary text, adjacent signage, work instructions, or local control measures.

The ISO P010 do not touch sign prohibits touching an object or surface because contact could create injury, contamination, equipment upset, or another hazardous event associated with the marked item.

The ISO E007 evacuation assembly point sign identifies the safe place where people are expected to gather after evacuation so headcounts, accountability, and emergency coordination can be completed efficiently.

The ISO F002 fire hose reel sign identifies the location of a fire hose reel so trained personnel can find suppression equipment quickly when the emergency plan allows first-response firefighting.

The ISO F005 fire alarm call point sign identifies the location of a manual fire alarm activation point so occupants can raise the alarm quickly when fire is discovered or confirmed.

The presence of laser radiation whose beam or reflection can injure the eyes or skin, often without any visible cue before damage occurs. It identifies laser hazards at controlled areas and equipment, while the accompanying class label supplies the severity information the triangle alone does not.

The W005 triangle warns of non-ionizing electromagnetic fields — radiofrequency, microwave, and strong low-frequency fields — intense enough to heat tissue or stimulate nerves, and marks areas where exposure could exceed recognized limits such as the ICNIRP guidelines.

The presence of a strong static magnetic field, which can turn loose ferromagnetic objects into projectiles and disrupt pacemakers and other implanted devices. It is posted at the approach to powerful magnets, from MRI suites to industrial magnet systems, per ISO 7010 W006.

The W007 warning triangle alerts pedestrians to a fixed obstacle at floor level — a raised threshold, kerb, duct cover, or anchor bolt — that a walking person could trip over, and is reserved for permanent features that cannot be engineered away.

The W008 warning triangle alerts pedestrians that a person can fall from a height ahead — an unprotected edge, an open pit, an abrupt change in floor level, or a platform without a complete barrier — and is posted on the approach to the drop rather than at the edge itself.

The W010 snowflake triangle warns of low temperature or freezing conditions, covering both cold environments a person works inside, such as freezer stores, and cold substances or surfaces they might touch, such as cryogenic pipework, that can cause frostbite, hypothermia, or instant cold burns.

The risk of electric shock, arc, or burn from live electrical parts. W012 warns that energised conductors or equipment may be present behind an enclosure or boundary, without stating the voltage level or whether the circuit is currently live, detail that supplementary labelling must supply.

The W013 sign warns that a working guard dog is present and that entering the area brings a risk of being confronted or bitten, serving as the standardized, language-free equivalent of a beware-of-dog notice on gates, fencing, and doors.

The operation of forklift trucks and other powered industrial vehicles in the area ahead, telling pedestrians to stay alert, keep to designated walkways, and give way. Registered as ISO 7010 W014, it covers the wider family of works trucks, not just counterbalance forklifts.

The W015 sign warns that loads may be lifted or carried overhead by cranes, hoists, or other lifting equipment, and that standing or passing beneath a suspended load risks being struck or crushed if the load or its rigging fails.

The W016 skull-and-crossbones triangle marks locations where toxic material is present — substances that can kill or seriously injure through inhalation, ingestion, or skin absorption — and is reserved for severe acute hazards rather than mild irritants.

The W017 warning triangle indicates that a surface may be hot enough to cause a contact burn even though there is no flame or visible glow, and applies wherever accessible equipment can reach temperatures capable of burning skin during normal work or passage.

The marked machinery can begin moving without warning, started by sensors, timers, PLC logic, or remote commands even while it appears idle. It cautions that stopped does not mean de-energised, prompting isolation and lockout before anyone reaches into the equipment.

The W019 warning triangle flags locations where moving mechanical parts can pin a limb or the whole body between a moving mass and a fixed surface, telling the viewer that a space which looks passable can close.

The presence of a fixed overhead obstacle at head height that a walking person can strike, prompting people to duck before reaching it. ISO 7010 W020 covers stationary obstructions such as low beams and pipe runs, unlike W035, which warns of objects that may fall.

The W022 triangle warns of a sharp element — any exposed edge, point, or blade that can cut or puncture on contact — covering unfinished sheet-metal and glass edges, knife edges on cutting machinery, swarf, protruding fasteners, and sharps in waste streams.

The W023 triangle warns that a nearby substance — strong acids, alkalis, or concentrated process chemicals — can destroy skin and eye tissue on contact and attack metals, marking rooms, dosing stations, tanks, and pipe runs where a splash or leak could reach a person.

The W024 triangle warns of a closing motion of mechanical parts that can crush a hand caught between two surfaces coming together, marking point-of-operation pinch hazards at the exact spot where fingers would enter a machine.

The danger of an in-running nip point, where two rollers turning toward each other grip and pull in anything that touches the gap: paper web, fabric, a rag, a glove, then the hand holding it. It applies to roller machinery wherever the nip stays accessible.

The W026 sign warns of batteries being charged and the combined hazards that brings — hydrogen gas from lead-acid cells, sulfuric acid splash, high short-circuit currents, and heavy handling — marking a designated charging area rather than a single machine.

The hazard of intense optical radiation from non-laser sources — ultraviolet, visible, or infrared light strong enough to injure eyes and skin, causing conditions such as welder's flash. ISO 7010 W027 applies to arcs, lamps, and hot bodies, while laser beams take W004 instead.

The W028 flame-over-circle triangle warns that an oxidizing substance is present — a material that feeds fire by releasing oxygen, making ordinary combustibles ignite more easily and burn hotter — and marks the room, cage, or storage bay holding such products.

The W029 triangle warns that pressurized gas cylinders are present — portable containers holding gas at pressures reaching 200 to 300 bar, whose stored energy can turn a damaged cylinder into a projectile — posted on the doors, cages, and walls of areas where they are stored or used.

The W035 sign warns that loose objects can drop from above at this location — tools from overhead work, loads on cranes and hoists, stock dislodged from high racking, or debris at building edges — putting anyone at ground level within the drop zone at risk.

The area is subject to sudden, high-intensity noise events such as relief valves lifting, steam blowdowns, drop hammers, and siren tests, which can cause immediate acoustic trauma and a dangerous startle reflex. Because the events are unpredictable, quiet on arrival gives no cue to protect hearing.

The P003 sign prohibits smoking together with all open flames and open ignition sources — lighters, matches, candles, gas torches, and brazing flames — in areas where flammable liquids, gases, or dusts could ignite.

The prohibition of pedestrian use of the route, aisle, gate, or corridor it marks, keeping people on foot off a path without excluding vehicles or authorized workers from the space. ISO 7010 P004 functions as a traffic-management sign for closed or vehicle-only pedestrian routes.

The P005 prohibition sign marks water that must not be drunk, identifying process and cooling water, firefighting supplies, reclaimed and rainwater systems, and untreated wells whose quality is not managed for human consumption.

The P006 prohibition sign orders forklift and industrial vehicle operators to keep their machines out of the area ahead, covering counterbalance and reach trucks, powered pallet trucks, tow tractors, and order pickers; it addresses the driver, not passing pedestrians.

The P007 prohibition sign bars entry for anyone with an active implanted cardiac device such as a pacemaker or implantable defibrillator, because strong static magnetic and electromagnetic fields beyond the marked boundary can disturb the implant's electronics and pacing behavior.

The carrying of metallic articles and watches past this point is forbidden, typically because a strong magnetic field can turn ferromagnetic objects such as keys, coins, and tools into projectiles and can wreck watch movements. It marks the final divest line before a magnet boundary.

The P011 sign prohibits using water to extinguish a fire at the marked location, interrupting the instinctive response where water would electrocute the responder, react violently with burning metals, or erupt into expanding steam on burning oil or fat.

The prohibition on placing heavy objects on the marked surface, protecting structures with limited bearing capacity from deformation or collapse. Because ISO 7010 P012 leaves 'heavy' undefined, it is normally paired with a supplementary panel stating the actual load limit.

The P013 sign prohibits switched-on mobile phones beyond the point where it is posted, protecting against ignition risk in explosive atmospheres, radio-frequency interference with sensitive equipment, and distraction during safety-critical work.

The P014 sign denies area access to people with metallic implants — aneurysm clips, stents, heart valves, cochlear implants, orthopedic hardware, or retained metal fragments — because strong magnetic fields can move, heat, or disable implanted devices.

The P015 sign prohibits putting hands into openings behind which rollers, blades, gears, augers, or other moving parts operate, telling workers that the aperture in front of them is not a safe place for fingers even briefly, and that jams must be cleared with the machine stopped and isolated.

The act of pushing against the marked object, or against the people ahead in a crowd, is prohibited because the structure will move, tip, break, or fail under horizontal force. It is mounted directly on or beside the surface it protects.

The P018 sign prohibits sitting on the surface where it is displayed, targeting surfaces that invite a person to perch but were never rated to carry a seated adult, or that place the sitter within a lean-back of a fall.

The prohibition against stepping onto the marked surface because it cannot bear a person's weight — fragile materials such as rooflights, cement sheeting, and false ceilings that give no visible warning before failing underfoot. It is defined in ISO 7010 as P019.

The P020 sign forbids using a lift when fire breaks out in the building, because fire can cut power and trap a car between floors while the hoistway draws smoke upward like a chimney; occupants must take the stairs instead.

The P021 sign prohibits bringing dogs into the designated area; the crossed-out dog is species-specific and addresses the handler, which is why it stands at gates, doorways, and property boundaries where the decision to bring the animal is still reversible.

The P022 sign bans consuming food and beverages in the marked area, protecting people from ingesting hazardous substances that transfer from surfaces and hands to the mouth, and protecting sensitive products and environments from crumbs, spills, and contamination.

The marked zone must be kept permanently clear, with nothing parked, stored, stacked, or left in it at any time, because a fire door, escape route, piece of emergency equipment, or electrical working space lies behind it.

The P024 sign prohibits walking or standing on a designated area — usually sound ground beneath swinging loads, vehicle sweeps, or machine envelopes — making it the signature marking of the exclusion zone.

The prohibition of using a scaffold that is incomplete — still being erected, altered, or dismantled, or found deficient at inspection — because missing guardrails, boards, or ties are invisible from the ground. ISO 7010 P025 keeps workers off structures not yet handed over.

The P026 label bans the marked electrical device from use in a bathtub, shower, or water-filled reservoir, addressing electrocution from a plugged-in appliance falling into water — a hazard that persists even when the appliance is switched off.

The P027 sign forbids riding in the lift it is fixed to — goods-only lifts, service hoists, dumbwaiters, and material hoists built to move loads between levels but never certified to carry a person, lacking the safety gear, interlocks, and alarms of a passenger lift.

The P028 sign orders workers to remove their gloves before operating machines with a drawing-in hazard, because a glove snagged by a rotating tool does not tear free the way skin can — it winds in and pulls the hand and arm after it, turning a cut into a degloving or crush injury.

The taking of photographs is prohibited in the area where it is displayed, whatever the device: camera, phone, tablet, or body-worn unit. It expresses a condition of entry protecting trade secrets, security arrangements, or personal privacy, with video bans needing supplementary text.

The P030 sign prohibits tying knots in a climbing or load-bearing rope, because a knot concentrates stress where the fiber bends sharply around itself and cuts the rope's breaking strength — commonly by a quarter to a half of its rated value.

The requirement to read the instruction manual or booklet before proceeding, redirecting the viewer to documentation that manages residual risks which could not be designed out. ISO 7010 M002 shows a white open book on the blue mandatory disc and needs no translation across markets.

The M003 blue mandatory circle requires everyone entering the marked zone to wear hearing protection — earplugs or earmuffs — for the entire time they remain inside, typically where noise reaches the 85 dB(A) thresholds set by OSHA and the EU noise directive.

The M005 mandatory sign orders that an earth terminal be connected to the ground before equipment is used or energized, covering both protective earthing that lets breakers trip on a fault and static earthing that bleeds away charge before it can spark.

The M006 mandatory sign requires the mains plug to be pulled from its socket before maintenance of electrical equipment, in case of malfunction, or when the equipment is left unattended, giving complete and visible isolation for cord-and-plug machines.

The requirement to wear eye protection that blocks light completely, such as fully covering goggles, moulded eye cups, or padded masks, rather than clear impact lenses. It applies around intense artificial optical radiation where the eye must be shielded from the light itself.

The M008 sign requires safety footwear — with a protective toe cap and, where specified, penetration-resistant midsoles or slip-resistant soles — to be worn from the sign onward, marking the boundary of a footwear-controlled zone.

The mandatory wearing of protective gloves for the task or area it marks, telling workers that bare hands are not permitted there. Since ISO 7010 M009 does not name the hazard, the specific glove type comes from the risk assessment and supplementary text rather than the pictogram itself.

The M010 sign makes protective clothing covering the body compulsory in the marked area or task, spanning garments from disposable coveralls to encapsulating chemical suits, flame-resistant wear, arc-rated clothing, and insulated suits for cold work.

The M011 sign makes hand washing with water compulsory at the marked location — a mandatory-action instruction rather than a hygiene suggestion — depicting washing under running water as the full decontamination step, distinct from alcohol-based hand rubbing.

The M012 blue disc requires people to grip the handrail when using stairs, gangways, ramps, or escalators, converting the rail from passive infrastructure into a mandatory behavior that can arrest a slip before it becomes an uncontrolled fall.

The mandatory use of a face shield covering the forehead to below the chin, wherever a splash, fragment stream, or spray threatens the whole face rather than the eyes alone, normally worn over primary safety spectacles or goggles rather than instead of them.

The M015 sign requires high-visibility clothing — fluorescent garments with retroreflective bands — to be worn from the sign onward, making pedestrians conspicuous to the drivers of forklifts, trucks, cranes, and road vehicles who could strike them.

The obligation to wear a hygiene-type face mask, such as a surgical or procedure mask, beyond the point where it is posted. ISO 7010 M016 covers coverings that control what the wearer emits; where the air itself endangers the wearer, M017 respiratory protection applies instead.

The M017 sign demands that respiratory protective equipment be worn and sealed before entering the marked area, signalling that the atmosphere beyond contains, or may contain, airborne contaminants at levels an unprotected worker must not breathe.

The M018 sign requires a full-body safety harness to be worn — and connected to a suitable anchorage — from the marked point onward, appearing where guardrails or nets cannot protect work at height and personal fall protection becomes the control.

The M019 sign mandates a welding mask — a helmet or handshield with a dark filter lens — before arc or gas welding begins in the marked area, protecting eyes and face from the intense ultraviolet, visible, and infrared radiation that causes arc eye and contributes to cataract risk.

The occupants of a vehicle, machine, or ride must fasten the installed safety belt before movement begins. It concerns restraint in a seat, protecting against being thrown from or crushed by a moving machine, and is distinct from the M018 harness sign for work at height.

The M021 sign orders that hard-wired machines be disconnected from all sources of power — electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and stored energy — before maintenance or repair begins, pointing workers at the moment a lockout procedure must be invoked.

The requirement to apply an appropriate barrier cream to clean, dry hands before work begins, as part of a skin-care programme preventing occupational contact dermatitis. Under ISO 7010 M022 the cream reduces contact with wetting agents, coolants, and mild irritants but never substitutes for gloves.

The E004 green sign identifies a telephone dedicated to summoning emergency assistance, connected to a control room, site security, or public emergency operator, with each fixed unit's known position telling responders where the caller is before a word is spoken.

The E008 safe-condition sign indicates a frangible cover that must be broken to reach an emergency device behind it — typically a glazed box holding a key, door release, or escape mechanism — granting explicit advance permission to smash the panel.

The E009 sign marks the place where a doctor is available for emergencies — an occupational health center, staffed medical room, ship hospital, or event medical post offering physician-level care rather than just first aid supplies or a trained colleague.

The location of an automated external defibrillator, the device used to shock a sudden cardiac arrest back into rhythm. Because survival falls steeply with every minute before defibrillation, the sign exists so a stressed bystander in an unfamiliar building can find the unit instantly.

The E011 sign identifies the location of an eyewash station, the emergency fixture for flushing chemicals, dust, or debris from the eyes; its visibility is treated as part of the equipment's performance, since a casualty may have only seconds of useful vision left.

The location of a safety shower for immediately drenching a person whose body or clothing has been contaminated with a corrosive or otherwise injurious chemical. ISO 7010 E012 uses the green safe-condition square, complementing E011, which marks eyewash stations for splashes to the eyes.

The F003 red square designates a fixed ladder reserved exclusively for firefighting, provided so fire crews can reach a roof, gantry, or upper level that has no protected stair — it is not a marker for general maintenance or access ladders.

The F004 sign identifies a location holding several pieces of firefighting equipment at once — a fire point or fire station cabinet — replacing a stack of single-item signs with one marker for the whole station.

The F006 sign identifies a telephone provided specifically for fire emergencies, connecting directly to a fire control room, permanently staffed security desk, or fire alarm master station where a fire response can be initiated or coordinated, with no number to dial.

The door it marks is a rated fire protection door, an assembly tested to resist fire and smoke for a defined period as part of the building's passive protection. It tells occupants and inspectors the door must be allowed to close and never wedged open.

The F008 sign identifies where a fixed fire extinguishing battery is located — the bank of manifolded, pressurized cylinders storing the agent for a fixed suppression system, typically a ship's CO2 room or an inert gas cylinder space.

The station of a wheeled fire extinguisher — a cart-mounted mobile unit holding tens of kilograms of powder, foam, or CO2, far beyond a handheld's capacity. ISO 7010 F009 distinguishes these trained-responder assets from portable extinguisher points so crews reach the right equipment.

The F010 sign locates a portable foam applicator unit — a foam branch pipe, inline inductor, and containers of foam concentrate that convert a water supply into firefighting foam suitable for burning liquid fuels that water alone would splash and spread.

The E013 sign marks where a stretcher is stored, so a casualty who cannot walk can be moved without worsening their injury across distances an ambulance cannot cover, from a mine level or a ship's engine room to the far end of a large plant.

The E014 label indicates that a CPOD-equipped child seat can safely be used on a CPOD-equipped passenger seat protected by a frontal airbag, because the vehicle senses a compatible rear-facing restraint and automatically suppresses the airbag that would otherwise endanger the infant.

The water at this point is verified potable and safe to drink. It is the positive half of a pair with prohibition sign P005, distinguishing drinking outlets from process water, reclaimed water, firefighting mains, and untreated supplies on sites with several water systems.

The E016 sign marks an emergency window that serves as an escape opening and is equipped with a permanently fixed escape ladder, designating an engineered secondary escape route rather than a window someone might improvise through.

The designation of a rescue window — an opening where occupants can be reached and brought out by fire-service ladder equipment. Unlike an exit sign, ISO 7010 E017 promises no walkable route; it tells people sheltering inside where help arrives and shows crews the ladder-accessible facade opening.

The E018 sign instructs the user to rotate an opening device anticlockwise to release it, registered for security doors on escape routes whose knob must be turned counterclockwise for the opening mechanism to operate.

The E019 sign instructs that a door knob, handwheel, or closure must be rotated clockwise to open — flagging hardware that contradicts the ingrained habit that clockwise tightens — and belongs at the point of operation on escape-route doors.

The E020 green square shows where an emergency stop button is located, guiding anyone scanning a machine hall for a way to halt a runaway process to the red-on-yellow actuator that kills the hazardous motion.

The location of a protection shelter, a hardened or enclosed space people enter and stay in until an outside threat passes. Unlike most green safe-condition signs it directs occupants inward rather than out, anchoring the sheltering half of an emergency plan.

The E022 sign tells the person facing a door that it opens away from them and that the moving edge is on their left, so force applied at the left-hand edge swings the leaf open with the least effort.

The instruction that the door ahead is hinged on the left and opens by pushing at its right-hand edge. As the mirror image of E022 in ISO 7010's door-operation family, this green escape-route sign steers evacuees' first touch to the working edge so no one stalls at the doorway.

The E024 sign marks a temporary refuge — a fire-separated waiting area where people who cannot use stairs stay for rescue assistance during an evacuation — making it the anchor sign of a building's accessible egress provision.

The E025 sign locates an emergency hammer — the small hardened-tip tool for breaking out through tempered window glass when doors are jammed, submerged, or blocked by fire or collision damage — with a sign fixed adjacent to every hammer clip.

The E026 sign tells people unable to walk or with a walking impairment that their usable escape route continues to the left, pointing toward a temporary refuge, evacuation lift, or step-free final exit when the general escape route heads into a stairway they cannot use.

The stowage point of a medical grab bag, a sealed, pre-packed portable kit a responder seizes in one motion and carries to a casualty rather than bringing the casualty to a fixed cabinet. It applies wherever injuries can occur far from fixed first aid facilities.

The E028 sign identifies the stowage of an oxygen resuscitator — a portable set combining an oxygen cylinder, regulator, masks, and ventilation equipment — used to give supplemental oxygen to a breathing casualty or support ventilation of one who is not.

The stowage position of an emergency escape breathing device (EEBD) — a hood with a short self-contained air supply, lasting at least ten minutes under SOLAS, that lets a person walk out of a smoke-filled or oxygen-deficient compartment. ISO 7010 E029 marks escape-only equipment, never gear for entry or rescue.

The E030 sign indicates that the emergency exit route usable by people unable to walk or with a walking impairment lies to the right of the viewer, forming the rightward half of the accessible-exit pair with E026.

The E031 sign marks the manual activation points of a ship's general emergency alarm — the button or switch that sounds the SOLAS seven-short-one-long signal summoning everyone on board to their emergency stations — not the bells or sounders themselves.

The E032 sign marks an assembly station on board a ship — the designated muster space near the survival craft embarkation positions where passengers and non-essential crew gather when the general emergency alarm sounds, to be counted, issued lifejackets, and held pending an abandonment decision.

The door it marks opens by sliding sideways along a track, travelling to the right as the user faces it. It answers two questions at once, that the leaf slides rather than swings and which direction to move it, with E034 as its leftward mirror.

The E034 sign indicates that a sliding door opens by moving its leaf to the left, from the viewpoint of the person about to operate it, so the first pull on a heavy or unfamiliar door is the correct one.

The location of a liferaft knife — a buoyant, blunt-tipped cutting tool stowed at a survival craft station to sever the painter and other lines holding a raft to the ship during abandonment. ISO 7010 E035 makes this small, easily overlooked tool findable within seconds at night or in heavy weather.

The E036 green square identifies the position of a lifeboat — the rigid, engine-driven survival craft carried so its assigned complement can abandon ship and stay alive at sea until rescue — and belongs at lifeboat stowage and embarkation stations on SOLAS vessels.

The E037 sign locates the ship's rescue boat — a small, quickly launched craft for recovering people from the water and marshalling liferafts, not for carrying evacuees away — aimed at the trained crew who man it rather than at passengers.

The E038 green square locates an inflatable liferaft stowed for throw-overboard launching — the canistered raft in a deck cradle that is released, thrown over the side, and inflated by hauling out its painter, as distinct from the davit-launched rafts marked E039.

The position of a liferaft station equipped with a launching davit, where the raft is inflated at deck level, boarded dry, and lowered to the sea with its occupants inside. It is distinct from E038, which marks rafts boarded after they are on the water.

The E040 sign indicates the location of a plain lifebuoy — a ring buoy with no attached line, light, or smoke signal — and is the base sign of the ISO 7010 lifebuoy family; equipped buoys take the variant signs E041 through E043 or E068.

The position of a lifebuoy fitted with a buoyant rescue line, letting a rescuer on shore or deck throw the ring and haul both casualty and equipment back. ISO 7010 E041 is distinguished from E040, the bare lifebuoy, wherever current, wind, or sheer walls would carry a free-floating ring out of reach.

The E042 sign denotes a lifebuoy fitted with a self-igniting light that activates on contact with the water, so the thrown buoy both supports a casualty and marks their position during night, fog, or heavy-weather man-overboard recoveries.

The E043 sign designates a lifebuoy equipped with both a buoyant rescue line and a self-igniting light, covering two failure modes at once: a casualty drifting beyond reach and a casualty disappearing into darkness.

The E044 sign shows where lifejackets are stowed — true self-righting devices that turn an unconscious wearer face-up — answering the location question, while the instruction to actually wear one comes from a separate blue mandatory sign.

The stowage location of lifejackets sized for children, whose buoyancy and fit are matched to a child's body mass; an oversized adult jacket rides up over the face or lets the child slip through the arm openings. It separates child stock from the adult E044 supply.

The E046 sign identifies stowage of lifejackets made for infants, the smallest of the three ISO 7010 lifejacket size classes; its pictogram of an adult holding a jacketed infant reflects that the device is designed to be managed by an accompanying adult.

The stowage location of a search and rescue transponder (SART), the GMDSS survival device that answers a rescuer's X-band radar with a distinctive trail of blips guiding ships and aircraft to survivors. ISO 7010 E047 ensures crew can grab it in the seconds available during abandon-ship.

The E048 sign points to the stowage of a survival craft's distress signals — the sealed pyrotechnic outfit of rocket parachute flares, hand flares, and buoyant smoke signals that lifeboat and liferaft occupants use to attract attention after abandoning ship.

The E049 sign marks the stowage of rocket parachute flares — the longest-range visual distress signal in the maritime pyrotechnic family, climbing to around 300 metres and burning red under a small parachute for 40 seconds or more.

The E050 sign identifies the stowage of a ship's line-throwing appliance, the rocket or pneumatic launcher that carries a light messenger line well over 200 metres so two ships, or ship and shore, can establish a physical connection for towing lines, hoses, or rescue gear without a boat transfer.

The stowage or charging point of the portable two-way VHF radiotelephones, the handheld GMDSS survival craft radios that let people in a lifeboat or liferaft speak with the mother ship, other vessels, and rescue units, including on the Channel 16 distress frequency.

The E052 sign marks the mounting location of a ship's EPIRB, the emergency position indicating radio beacon that transmits a coded 406 MHz distress alert carrying the vessel's identity and position to the Cospas-Sarsat satellite system.

The location of an embarkation ladder — the rope-and-rung ladder rigged at a survival craft station so people can climb down the ship's side to a liferaft or boat waiting on the water. ISO 7010 E053 marks emergency descent equipment, distinct from pilot ladders and gangways used for routine access.

The E054 sign marks the boarding station of a slide-type marine evacuation system — an inflatable inclined slide that carries evacuees from the embarkation deck down to a floating platform and its liferafts far faster than davits or ladders could move them.

The E055 sign marks the station of a chute-type marine evacuation system — an enclosed, near-vertical fabric trunk through which evacuees descend from the embarkation deck to a floating platform, where crew load them into liferafts.

The E056 sign marks the stowage of survival clothing, principally the insulated watertight immersion suits donned before abandoning ship into cold water, locating the equipment that keeps a floating casualty warm enough to survive until rescue rather than merely afloat.

The door must be drawn toward the user and gripped at its left-hand edge, with hinges to the right and the leaf swinging out of the frame into the user's space. It pre-empts the near-universal instinct to push an unfamiliar door during an evacuation.

The E058 sign describes a hinged door that opens toward the user when drawn back at its right-hand edge, telling the person approaching to grip on the right and step back to clear the swing instead of pushing at the threshold.

The position of a permanently fixed escape ladder that forms part of the planned emergency route where the way out drops or climbs vertically. ISO 7010 E059 singles out the ladder whose bottom rung actually leads somewhere safe, unlike the many maintenance ladders scattered across industrial sites.

The E060 sign shows where an evacuation chair is stored — a braked stair-descent chair that lets one or two trained operators bring a seated person with a mobility impairment down flights of stairs in a controlled glide when lifts are unavailable.

The E061 sign indicates a location holding water life-saving equipment in general, without committing to any particular device — the umbrella sign for mixed rescue stations that no single-item symbol describes honestly.

The E062 sign designates a tsunami evacuation area — a safe assembly place, normally on high ground outside the projected inundation zone, that people should move to when a warning is issued or when natural signs such as a strong earthquake or sudden sea withdrawal demand immediate self-evacuation.

The building is officially designated for vertical tsunami evacuation: people climb to refuge floors above the modelled inundation depth instead of trying to outrun the wave to distant high ground. Designation requires engineering to survive both the earthquake and the hydrodynamic loading of the flow.

The E064 sign indicates a person trained in first aid, marking the workstation, office door, or duty point of a designated responder — where E003 says the equipment is here, E064 says the competence is here.

The designation of a natural disaster outdoor refuge area — open ground such as a large park, sports field, or plaza where people gather when earthquakes, wildfires, or storms make buildings dangerous. ISO 7010 E065 grew out of Japanese disaster-prevention planning and operates at municipal scale, unlike the workplace assembly point E007.

The E067 sign pinpoints the storage of an evacuation mattress — a flexible sled with securing straps and drag handles that lets a small team slide a non-ambulant person out of a building, including down stairs, when elevators are out of service.

The E068 sign indicates a lifebuoy fitted with a self-igniting light and a self-activating smoke signal — a man-overboard marker buoy dropped to fix the casualty's position with orange smoke by day and light by night, rather than thrown for the casualty to hold.

The E069 sign identifies a person overboard call point — a dedicated alarm station on deck where a witness to someone falling into the water can alert the bridge instantly, so the ship's position is marked and a recovery maneuver begins within seconds.

The lift it marks is specifically designed and protected for evacuating people who cannot use stairs, with a protected shaft and lobby, secured power, evacuation control mode, and communications, forming an engineered exception to the familiar rule against using lifts in a fire.

The E071 sign marks the stowage point of a rescue toboggan — the sled, often called an akja, that ski patrols use to move an injured person over snow where no wheeled vehicle can reach them.

The identification of a safe anchorage point — a structural attachment engineered and verified for connecting rescue and evacuation systems such as controlled descent devices and casualty retrieval lines. ISO 7010 E072 stops responders clipping to handrails or pipe brackets that fail under emergency load.

The E073 sign marks the stowage of an emergency descent device — a controlled descender that lowers a harnessed person from height at a governed speed when fire, structural damage, or a jammed hoist has cut off the normal way down.

The E074 sign marks where emergency rations are stored — food stocks held for survival situations in which people may be cut off from normal supply for hours or days — so the cache can be found by symbol alone by stressed people who never stocked it.

The E075 sign indicates where a lifeguard is stationed, marking the tower, chair, patrol hut, or poolside position from which trained aquatic rescue capability and equipment can be reached in the first, decisive minutes of a drowning incident.

The location of evacuation equipment in general, serving as the umbrella marker for a store, cabinet, or grab-point holding whatever the evacuation plan stages there, used when the contents have no dedicated pictogram or several kinds of kit share one point.

The F011 sign identifies the stowage of a water fog applicator, a nozzle or lance that breaks a hose stream into fine spray to absorb heat rapidly, dilute oxygen at the flame, and shield the operator behind a curtain of droplets.

The presence of a fixed fire extinguishing installation — the engineered suppression system as a whole, rather than a single cylinder bank (F008), agent bottle (F013), or actuation point (F014). ISO 7010 F012 marks both spaces protected by such systems and rooms housing their equipment.

The F013 sign calls out a fixed fire extinguishing bottle — a single permanently installed cylinder of agent plumbed to protect a specific enclosure or actuate a larger system — and is often the only visible evidence that the concealed protection exists.

The F014 sign marks a remote release station — the manual control, located outside the protected space, from which a fixed extinguishing system such as a CO2 total-flooding installation is discharged into the compartment it protects.

The F015 sign gives the position of a fire monitor — a fixed, aimable water or foam cannon delivering flow rates and throw distances far beyond any handline, which can be trained onto a fire and left running while people stay back from heat and vapor.

The storage point of a fire blanket, a sheet of fire-resistant fabric, usually woven glass fibre, that is pulled from a quick-release wall container and laid over a small fire or a person whose clothing is alight to smother the flames by cutting off air.

The F017 sign marks a firefighters' lift and its associated switch — a lift engineered with protected power supplies, a fire-resisting shaft and lobby, and fire-service override control so crews can move personnel and equipment up a tall building while the fire is burning.

The identification of a visual alarm device — a beacon or strobe whose flashing means the fire alarm has operated and evacuation is required. ISO 7010 F018 labels the device itself so occupants distinguish it from status lamps, machine faults, and other flashing lights around them.

The F019 sign indicates stored fire hose that is not permanently connected to a water supply — lay-flat hose that must be coupled to a hydrant, standpipe, or landing valve and charged before any water can flow, unlike the instant-use reel of F002.

The M023 sign requires pedestrians to cross using the footbridge rather than at grade, making the bridge the only permitted crossing over hazards such as live conveyors, rail tracks, busy internal roadways, open water, or runs of hot pipework.

The M024 blue disc tells pedestrians they must use the designated walkway — the marked, protected route through an area shared with powered vehicles — because walking anywhere else on a floor or yard trafficked by forklifts and trucks is unsafe or forbidden.

The instruction that an infant's eyes must be covered with opaque eye protection, addressed to the nurses, midwives, and parents caring for the child rather than to the person it protects. Its home is neonatal phototherapy, where blue light treats jaundice through the skin.

The M026 sign signifies that the front of the body must be protected by an apron, addressing hazards that arrive from directly ahead at torso height while the wearer stands at a bench, tank, sink, or table.

The mandatory instruction to store the marked item up, away, and inaccessible to children. ISO 7010 M055 gives pictographic form to the familiar labeling phrase behind GHS precautionary statement P102, and travels readily onto packaging, storage cabinets, and dispensing points as well as walls.

The M056 sign makes ventilation of a confined space obligatory before anyone enters and for as long as anyone remains inside — pre-entry purging clears accumulated vapors or oxygen-deficient air, while continuous airflow counters hazards the work itself generates.

The M057 sign mandates that continuous ventilation be maintained in the marked area — a permanent operating condition for spaces that are safe only while air is moving and become dangerous quietly if a fan fails, a vent is blocked, or a louver is shut.

The M058 sign permits entry into a confined space only when an attendant or standby person is stationed outside, ready to keep count of entrants, maintain communication, summon rescue, and begin help if something goes wrong — because entrants in trouble usually cannot rescue themselves.

The laboratory coat is a posted requirement in the marked area, acting both as a sacrificial layer between chemicals, spills, and dusts and the wearer's skin, and as a contamination boundary that stays inside the lab rather than travelling home on street clothes.

The M060 sign requires users to keep a firm grip on the trolley handle while riding a moving walkway or escalator, keeping the human in the control loop of carts whose brakes engage automatically when the handle is released.

The mandate to disinfect hands with an alcohol-based rub or equivalent sanitizer at the signed location. ISO 7010 M061 filled the gap left by M011, which depicts washing at a sink; the two signs document different decontamination operations required at different points in a hygiene procedure.

The M062 sign requires a specific surface to be disinfected, attaching the obligation to a particular touchable object or area — the treatment couch between patients, the shared workstation between shifts — so whoever is present when the trigger occurs knows the wipe-down is theirs.

The M063 sign instructs skiers to take their ski pole straps off their wrists before boarding a chairlift, drag lift, or conveyor-belt lift, because a strapped pole that snags on moving lift equipment drags the skier with it instead of tearing free.

The M064 sign requires skiers to gather both poles into one hand before riding a chairlift, drag lift, or conveyor-belt lift, freeing the other hand to grab the tow hanger, pull down the safety bar, steady a child, or keep balance during the timed loading maneuver.

The requirement that children be accompanied by an adult in the marked area, framed as a condition of access that staff can enforce at the point of entry rather than mere advice, with age thresholds and supervision ratios supplied by supplementary text.

The M066 sign requires a sports helmet — a recreational design engineered for the impacts its activity actually produces, visibly different from the brimmed industrial hard hat of M014 — stating a helmet rule in a format that works across languages.

The requirement that skiers and snowboarders wear snow goggles, one of ISO 7010's recreation-specific mandatory signs. Goggles counter altitude-intensified UV reflected off snow — the cause of snow blindness — plus wind, spindrift, and impact hazards that ordinary sunglasses cannot handle.

The M068 sign mandates that moving mechanical parts be physically locked with pins, props, blocks, or chocks before maintenance, addressing stored energy — gravity, spring tension, trapped pressure — that can move parts even after every power source is disconnected.

The M069 sign requires tools to be securely tethered in the marked area — a rated attachment point, a matched lanyard, and an anchorage on the worker or the structure — so a dropped tool falls centimeters instead of meters onto people below.

The M070 sign mandates that a lamp be used only in a luminaire fitted with a protective shield, containing both shattered glass from a bursting high-output bulb and the hazardous ultraviolet radiation certain discharge lamps emit if they keep burning after their outer envelope breaks.

The mandatory fitting and use of anti-tip restraints, from wall straps and brackets on furniture and factory anti-tip hardware on appliances to floor fixings on racking and drawer interlocks on cabinets, to stop tall or top-heavy objects toppling onto people.

The M072 sign mandates use of a decontamination shower as a required step in the work sequence — a procedural wash-down on exiting a contaminated zone, distinct from the green E012 emergency drench shower a splashed worker runs to.

The prohibition of climbing on the structure where it is mounted, targeting improvised ascent — scaling racking, stepping on machine guards, vaulting fences — rather than the use of proper access equipment. ISO 7010 P009 protects both the climber and structures never designed as footholds.

The P016 sign forbids directing sprayed or jetted water at the marked equipment or area during routine cleaning, protecting live electrical gear and water-sensitive processes from hoses and pressure washers rather than governing firefighting response.

The P031 sign prohibits any change to the current state of a switch or control — do not turn on what is off, and do not turn off what is on — because both directions can kill, from energizing a machine under maintenance to stopping a ventilation fan that must keep running.

The P032 pictogram prohibits grinding with the flat side of the marked wheel, because flat wheels and thin cut-off discs are engineered to take load only on the rim — lateral pressure flexes the disc, opens cracks in the bond, and can make it burst at operating speed.

The grinding wheel it labels must be run dry: its bond and porous structure are not rated for water or coolant, which soak in unevenly, unbalance the wheel, and can degrade the bond until the wheel cracks or bursts at operating speed.

The P034 sign marks abrasive wheels that must not be mounted on hand-held grinding machines, because wheels made for fixed bench or pedestal grinders lack the reinforcement to survive the twisting, shock, and side pressure of portable use and can crack and burst.

The exclusion of children from an area that is dangerous for them, a restriction defined by age and capability rather than behavior. Because ISO 7010 P036 carries no age threshold, it almost always needs supplementary text stating the cutoff, height limit, or accompaniment rule that applies.

The P037 sign orders passengers on a surface lift — a T-bar, platter, or rope tow — to stay inside the prepared uphill track for the entire ride, since a rider who swings out of line can derail the hanger, strike other riders, or force an emergency stop.

The P038 sign forbids rocking or swinging a chairlift chair on the line, since deliberate sway can bring the chair near tower structures, disturb how the haul rope sits in its sheaves, and make it easier for a passenger — especially a child — to slip past the restraint bar.

The P039 sign bans hot work — welding, flame cutting, brazing, torch soldering, abrasive grinding, and similar spark- or heat-producing activities — in the marked area, either absolutely or until a formal hot work permit authorizes the job under controlled conditions.

The setting off of fireworks, including rockets, firecrackers, fountains, and similar consumer pyrotechnics, is prohibited in the posted area, whether permanently or during declared fire-danger periods, backed by local fireworks law, park bylaws, or venue entry conditions.

The P041 sign prohibits leaning against the object it marks, because sustained lateral body weight loads structures — glass panels, railings, barriers — that may only have been designed to be looked at, touched lightly, or loaded vertically.

The warning that pregnant women must not undertake the activity or enter the area, because acceleration forces, heat, certain chemicals, or ionizing radiation pose risks specific to pregnancy. ISO 7010 P042 relies on self-identification, so it belongs before the point of commitment.

The P043 sign bars intoxicated people from the activity where it is displayed, covering impairment from alcohol, drugs, or medication, and gives staff a pre-stated, impersonal basis for refusing entry to someone whose condition endangers others.

The P044 sign prohibits the use of smart glasses — head-worn devices combining eyewear with a camera, a display, or both — in the marked area, whether the concern is covert recording from eye level or a display competing for the wearer's attention.

The P045 sign prohibits making a campfire where it is displayed, addressing the recreating public — campers, hikers, beachgoers — whose open wood fires are a persistent cause of human-started wildfires through smoldering ground ignition, wind-lifted embers, and incomplete extinguishment.

The riders of a toboggan or sled must keep their arms, legs, and body inside the moving vehicle, because a limb trailed in the snow or stuck out to brake can catch on banked curves, ice, or trackside structures and wrench the rider out of the sled.

The P047 sign prohibits deliberately or carelessly running a toboggan into another one, demanding the spacing and speed control that collision avoidance depends on in a narrow sled channel where riders have little ability to dodge.

The prohibition of running in the posted area, requiring everyone to walk because the surface or surroundings make an uncontrolled fall or collision likely. ISO 7010 P048 entered the standard with the water safety signs harmonized from ISO 20712-1, hence its familiarity from swimming pools.

The P049 sign closes a body of water to swimming entirely — the broadest of the aquatic prohibitions, meaning people must not be in the water at all, whether the hazard is currents, vessel traffic, water quality, or submerged structures.

The P050 sign bans the use of snorkelling equipment — mask, snorkel, and fins — in the signed stretch of water, restricting face-down surface swimming with a breathing tube without necessarily closing the water to all bathing.

The P051 sign prohibits sub-aqua diving — swimming underwater with breathing apparatus such as scuba gear — targeting the tank-and-regulator diver who can stay down at depth, not the surface snorkeller or casual bather covered by other water-safety signs.

The prohibition of headfirst entry into the water, posted where the depth is insufficient for a dive. Swimming may remain perfectly acceptable where it stands, but a steep headfirst entry can drive the crown of the skull into the bottom and fracture the cervical spine.

The P053 sign bans sail-driven craft — dinghies, catamarans, keelboats, and sailing yachts — from the stretch of water it marks, targeting that craft category alone while swimming, paddling, and motorized boating carry their own reference signs.

The ban on windsurfing — riding a sailboard with a pivoting rig — in the marked waters. Drawn from the ISO 20712-1 water safety signs absorbed into ISO 7010, P054 covers only sailboards: hulled sailing craft fall under P053 and kite-powered riders under P065.

The P055 sign excludes craft moved by human effort — rowing boats, sculls, kayaks, canoes, punts, pedalos, and paddleboards — from the water where it is posted, acting as the muscle-powered counterpart to the P056 ban on engine-driven vessels.

The P056 sign excludes mechanically powered craft — vessels driven by any engine or motor, whether petrol outboard, inboard diesel, electric drive, or jet propulsion — leaving sailing, rowed, and paddled craft to their own separate signs.

The P057 sign prohibits personal water craft — the ride-on, jet-propelled machines commonly called jet skis — in the marked waters, singling out a craft class whose violent acceleration, tight maneuvering close to shore, and loss of steering off-throttle create conflicts ordinary motorboats do not.

The towing of a person or ridden inflatable behind a powered vessel, covering waterskiing, wakeboarding, kneeboarding, and doughnut or banana boat rides, is prohibited on the marked water, even where powered navigation itself remains allowed.

The P059 sign prohibits surf craft — surfboards, surf skis, and surf kayaks — from the marked stretch of water, closing the surf to rigid ridden wave craft while soft bodyboards remain governed by the separate P063 reference.

The prohibition on wearing outdoor footwear beyond the marked threshold, defining where street soles carrying grit, grime, microorganisms, and chemical residues must stop. ISO 7010 P060 marks hygiene and cleanliness boundaries; whether bare feet, overshoes, or captive footwear follow depends on the facility.

The P061 sign bans deliberate feet-first jumps into the water from an edge, wall, or structure above it, addressing unseen shallow bottoms and debris, impact injuries from height, and cold-water shock — the pattern known in the UK as tombstoning.

The P062 sign outlaws pushing people into the water — the anti-horseplay rule of the aquatic series — because a pushed person enters unprepared, mid-breath, facing the wrong way, and can strike the pool edge, ladder rails, shallow bottom, or other bathers.

The P063 sign bans body boarding — riding waves prone on a short foam board — in the water it faces, closing that stretch to bodyboards specifically while swimmers or other activities may remain permitted under the beach's wider zoning scheme.

The use of surf craft is prohibited inside the designated swimming area between the lifeguards' red-and-yellow flags, the patrolled bathing zone that concentrates swimmers, including children and weak swimmers, into water that must stay free of fast, hard-nosed boards.

The P065 sign forbids kitesurfing — riding a board while harnessed to a traction kite flown on lines — including launching, landing, and relaunching the kite, since those phases happen on or over the beach rather than out on the water.

The prohibition of parasailing — being lifted under a towed canopy behind a powered boat — in the marked area. Within ISO 7010's water safety signs, P066 targets the passenger-aloft, boat-controlled arrangement, distinct from the self-piloted kitesurfing covered by P065.

The P067 sign prohibits sand yachting — piloting a wheeled, wind-driven craft along the beach — where the craft's speed on firm sand cannot safely coexist with the walkers, children, dogs, and horse riders sharing the same foreshore.

The P068 sign forbids exposing the marked item to direct sunlight or a hot surface, protecting products in which heat raises internal pressure, triggers ignition or decomposition, or pushes battery chemistry into thermal runaway.

The P069 label prohibits users from servicing the marked product — the graphic form of "no user-serviceable parts inside" — reserving any opening, repair, or adjustment of the internals for qualified service personnel because hazards like stored charge persist even when the device seems off.

The insertion of a finger into the nozzle of a hydromassage fitting is forbidden: whirlpool jets and suction openings move water with forces far beyond what a person can pull against, and a probing finger can become wedged in the fitting or held by the pump's draw.

The P071 sign prohibits crossing the barrier on which or immediately beside which it appears — climbing over, ducking under, or squeezing through — attaching the force of a formal prohibition to boundaries that stop no one physically.

The ban on jumping down from the edge, platform, or vehicle where it is posted, targeting the deliberate shortcut rather than the accidental fall covered by W008. ISO 7010 P072 steers people to stairs and steps because even modest drops onto concrete drive damaging impact through ankles, knees, and spine.

The P073 sign forbids closing an appliance's hinged lid while any burner is alight, preventing unburned gas from accumulating under the cover and flashing on reignition, and protecting lids never designed to enclose a live flame from heat damage.

The P074 sign prohibits installing a rear-facing child restraint on a vehicle seat protected by an active frontal airbag — in practice the front passenger seat — because a deploying airbag strikes the carrier shell at close range and drives it violently backward.

The P075 sign prohibits staring at the marked light source, targeting intense broadband and LED emitters rather than lasers — sources whose blue light or UV output can injure the retina or cornea during the sustained, deliberate gaze that the natural aversion response cannot prevent.

The terrain beyond it is closed to skiers, whether permanently, as in pedestrian zones, wildlife refuges, and property boundaries, or operationally when patrols shut slopes for avalanche danger, grooming work, snowmaking, race training, or insufficient cover.

The P077 sign is the registered ISO 7010 prohibition of snowboarding, a discipline-specific symbol that lets terrain be legitimately open to skiers while closed to boarders and works without text for a snow area's international mix of guests.

The prohibition of riding toboggans and sleds in the marked area, covering gravity sledding devices generally under the standard red ISO 7010 roundel. P078 draws the line where sleds meet terrain engineered for other traffic, without needing paragraphs of translated text.

The P079 sign prohibits ice skating in the posted zone, most consequentially on natural ice, where a frozen lake, pond, canal, or reservoir can look uniform from the bank while varying wildly in bearing capacity across its surface.

The P080 sign restricts entry by authorization status — people the site has cleared may pass, everyone else may not — expressing the classic authorized-personnel-only rule in the language-independent red-circle prohibition format of ISO 3864-1.

The W073 sign warns that the surrounding area is a zone where a large-scale fire — a wildfire, bushfire, or spreading urban conflagration — can occur, communicating standing risk so people learn the escape routes before smoke is ever visible, not that a fire is in progress.

The area where the sign stands is one in which tornadoes can occur, describing a place rather than an approaching storm. It tells residents, workers, and visitors to identify sturdy shelter in advance, while sirens and broadcast alerts handle the actual warning.

The W075 sign warns of an active volcano and the possibility of eruptions in the surrounding area — a natural-hazard zone warning telling visitors the mountain they are on is capable of erupting, so shelter locations and descent routes should be learned in advance.

The presence of a zone where large debris flows or flash flooding can occur — fast-moving surges of water, mud, boulders, and vegetation down steep channels during or after intense rain. ISO 7010 W076 belongs to the natural-hazard series rooted in Japanese sediment-disaster signage practice.

The W077 sign warns that the location can flood — from rivers and lakes, overloaded urban drainage, or storm-driven coastal water — marking mapped exposure in advance so people in the zone already know their risk before the water rises.

The W078 triangle warns of landslides and unstable slopes — ground that can slip, slump, or collapse and carry soil, rock, and structures downhill — part of the natural-hazard zone series added to ISO 7010 for geologically surveyed hazard areas.

The W080 triangle warns of the emission of hot steam at points where pressurized vapor can be released, deliberately or accidentally — a hazard made worse by the fact that live steam near the leak is transparent and can scald deeply or even cut before the victim sees anything.

The presence of crevasses hidden under the snow, deep glacier fissures spanned by wind-blown snow bridges that look continuous and solid yet cannot bear a person. It marks where assessed, controlled terrain ends and unverified glaciated ground begins.

The W084 sign warns of thunderstorms — above all lightning — at places where people are predictably outdoors, elevated, in water, or far from shelter when convective storms build, marking activity-and-exposure settings rather than mapped geological zones.

The exposure of the area to typhoons, hurricanes, or tropical cyclones — the same intense rotating storm named by ocean basin. ISO 7010 W085 flags standing regional risk so residents and visitors prepare and evacuate early, with landfall warnings themselves coming from meteorological agencies.
