Re: Question about warning and caution icons

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

In most industries, safety symbols are established by national 
or international standards organizations.  As a writer you can 
certainly make any recommendation you see fit to whatever 
person or group in your company is responsible for ensuring 
regulatory compliance, but you would be ill-advised to 
unilaterally delete or alter any symbols or icons related to 
safety, particularly if your employer or client has handed 
them to you and said "use these."
