Warning symbols are everywhere. Those black-and-yellow triangles can be found in offices, on construction sites, at your child's school, and sometimes even in seemingly gentler places like parks and swimming pools.

But do you know what those symbols mean?  The ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation) strive to ensure that the imagery used on warning signs and labels is as simple and as straightforward as possible, and yet you'd be flabbergasted by the number of people who can't name a common hazard from its corresponding warning symbol.

With that in mind, let's have a quick health and safety lesson - all of the following symbols are used internationally, and each one can be found in Label Source's Warning Symbol Labels department. Would you have known what they all meant?

Here's an easy one to start with - this is an electrical warning symbol, used to warn of hazards that may cause electric shocks or electrocution.

This hot surface warning symbol is somewhat less common, but it's just as important - used correctly, it will help to prevent burns and other injuries.

Do you know what this one this? It's a harmful hazard warning symbol, specifically for chemical hazards.

You may never have seen this particular symbol, but it is quite common in hospitals and laboratories. It's a laser hazard warning symbol, and given how dangerous laser radiation can be, it's another one that's very important in many cases.

Did you know all of these? There are plenty of others in our Warning Symbol Labels department - click here to expand your knowledge further!
