 Danger
signs indicate a specific and immediate hazard. They inform
people that special precautions are necessary.
OSHA states that there is to be no variation in the design
of signs posted to warn of specific dangers.
Design Requirements: "DANGER" is printed in white
letters on a red oval over a rectangular black field. The
main body of the sign should be white with the message printed
in black. Additional pictograms can be included in the sign
body.
