This paper presents the various sources of pictorial markings and warning labels that can be used on packaged goods. Lack of appropriate warnings or markings can result in severe hazards that can affect the safety of individuals and the work environment. The paper shows examples of good and poor applications of warnings and also discusses the various standards that assist in developing appropriate package markings for your goods. New markings recently being developed will also be discussed. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
