SAFETY

SIGNAL WORDS

FIGURE 1: Signal words designate a degree or level of

hazard seriousness.

DANGER: indicates an imminent hazard 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 potential hazard 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 potential hazard which, if not

avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may

also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

FIGURE 2: Important and Note

IMPORTANT: This is used to draw attention to specific

information that is necessary for the operation,

setup, or service of the system.

NOTE: This is used for additional information that can

help understand or operate the system.

SAFETY SIGNS

FIGURE 3: The HCS aligned its provisions with the

United Nations’ Globally Harmonized System (GHS)

Classification and Labeling of Chemicals in 2012. This

is a GHS safety label example for a chemical hazard.

These labels and safety messages warn all personnel

about hazardous chemicals or potentially unsafe

chemical conditions that may exist while working around

agricultural application equipment.

CapstanAG add-on application systems for OEM and

retrofit agricultural application equipment (booms and

toolbars) may contain HCS pictographs and GHS safety

labels and safety signal word messages.

SAFETY

PRESSURIZED FLUID LINES

Do not heat by welding, soldering, or using a torch near pressurized fluid lines or other flammable materials.

Pressurized lines can accidentally burst when too much heat is present

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Wear close fitting clothing and the correct personal protective equipment (PPE) for the job. See the manufacturer’s

manual or other information for correct PPE.

BATTERY SAFETY

Use the procedure in the appropriate agricultural equipment manual for connecting, disconnecting, and jump-starting

the machine’s battery.

Keep sparks and flames away from the battery. Battery gas can explode and cause serious injury. Do not smoke in the

battery charging area.

Remove jewelry, which might make electrical contact and create sparks.

CHEMICAL SAFETY

Chemicals used in agricultural applications can be harmful to your health and/or the environment if not used correctly.

Always follow all label directions for effective, safe, and legal use of agricultural chemicals.

EMERGENCY SAFETY

Fire extinguishing systems must meet the applicable OSHA requirements, and all users of portable/fixed fire

suppression equipment must know the types, limitations, and proper uses of this equipment; including hazards involved

with incipient stage firefighting.

Keep emergency numbers for doctors, ambulance service, hospital, and fire department near your telephone.

Know the location of fire extinguishers and first aid kits and how to use them.

Inspect the fire extinguisher and service the fire extinguisher regularly.

Follow the recommendations on the instructions plate.

Very small fires can be put out (extinguished) with a fire extinguisher. Use an appropriate method to extinguish a fire

(water for paper fires, and chemical extinguishers for electrical or chemical fires.
