The three-part message panel, used with safety messages, uses three different type styles 
to further define the potential hazard: 
• 
Normal type states the hazard,

Bold type states how to avoid the hazard, and Warning.
•
Italic type states the possible consequences of not avoiding the hazard.
 
Some safety messages contain visual symbols with signal words.
