Be Aware of Signal Words
Signal words designate a degree or level of hazard
seriousness.
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
This signal word is limited to the most extreme situations,
typically for machine components that, for functional
purposes, cannot be guarded.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury, and includes hazards that are exposed when
guards are removed. It may also be used to alert against
unsafe practices.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate
injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe
practices.

Prepare for Emergencies
▲ Keep emergency numbers for doctor, ambulance, hospital
and fire department near phone. Know the reporting
requirement for spills or releases of the chemicals you are
using. Have contact numbers available.
▲ For anhydrous ammonia operations, have additional
contact information for:
• national response center
• regional (state) response center
• local response center
▲ Have a first aid kit for typical farm injuries, but ignore it for
anhydrous ammonia exposure. The only first aid for
anhydrous ammonia is water.
