Abstract Description of a system of square modules conveying warnings, to be used in various combinations of symbols or images without text as warning notices. Each module represents a hazard, an interdiction or a message indicating emergency measures to be taken. A combination of modules (usually 4) forms a "sentence" which can be read from left to right. Many possible combinations of the modules can be read off from synoptic tables illustrating the article; 16 examples of 4-module warning notices for the petrochemical industry are also illustrated.
Descriptors (primary) warning notices; danger symbols; hazard identification
