Mandatory Action Icons
This type of safety icon conveys actions that should be taken to avoid hazards. It consists of a white image within a solid blue or black circular icon.
Portable abrasive wheels come in a variety of shapes, sizes and appearances. Because of these limitations, some wheels may have more or fewer icons than others. Also, some icons may be grouped to convey more information in a smaller space, such as: safety glasses, hearing protection and a dust mask combined into a single icon.
ALL icons must be followed. For example, if a wheel has a safety glasses icon and a face shield icon, the face shield must be worn in addition to safety glasses.
The manufacturing process of some wheels may preclude the use of multi-color blotters and labels. In these instances, the icons will appear in two contrasting colors such as black and white.
