“Is everything SAFE at your end too?” Many technical writing departments work according to the SAFE principle. It is a recommendation for the design of warning notices based on the ANSI Z535.x and the DIN EN ISO 12100 standards and it defines their structure. A signal word (S) is followed by a description of the archetype (A) of the hazard and the final consequences (F) the hazard may have. The warning is followed up with measures to escape (E) the risk, that is, what should be done to eliminate the risk.
