Wholesale DANGER labels
DANGER labels for the hazards that will cause death or serious injury if not avoided, in catalog designs or your own wording, quoted at your quantities.
When a hazard calls for DANGER
DANGER is the highest of the ANSI Z535 signal words, printed white on a red panel. It is reserved for a hazard that will cause death or serious injury if it is not avoided: high voltage behind a door, an arc flash boundary, a confined space with a dangerous atmosphere, or an explosive area. Using it for lesser hazards weakens it, which is why the choice comes from your hazard assessment.
Common DANGER label sets
- High voltage and fuse labels for enclosures, switchgear and transformers.
- Arc flash labels, often printed with values from your own study.
- Confined space labels for tanks, pits and vaults.
- Explosion and pressure hazard labels for vessels and lines.
- DANGER signs for doors, fences and areas.
Your wording on a DANGER panel
A DANGER label usually names the hazard, the consequence and how to avoid it, often with a symbol. If a catalog design is close but not exact, ask for the same layout with your wording, or draft it in the online label designer. Custom versions come with a proof before anything prints.
Stocks for the location
DANGER labels on outdoor equipment, utility sites and fences need stock that holds its color in sunlight. Aluminum and outdoor polyester are common there; indoor polyester suits panels and machines inside. The materials page lists typical figures as catalog data, not a specification.

Common questions
What color is a DANGER label?
In the ANSI Z535 format, the word DANGER is white on a red panel with the safety alert symbol. ISO 3864-2 layouts lead with a symbol instead.
Can DANGER labels be custom printed?
Yes. Send your wording and size, or start from a catalog part, and approve the proof before printing.
Can arc flash labels carry our study values?
Yes. Supply the values for each piece of equipment in a spreadsheet and they print as variable data on one design.
Who decides that a hazard needs DANGER?
You do, through your hazard assessment. The label is printed as you approve it.
Can I get DANGER signs in English and Spanish?
Yes, with the wording you supply in both languages. Some catalog designs are already bilingual.
