Size of Labels
Labels can be ordered in a variety of possible sizes (all labels can be ordered in several different sizes).  It is important for the size of the label to be large enough to warn the user before he/she encounters a hazardous situation. 

ANSI Z535.4 8.2.1 Lettering  Lettering shall be of a size that enables a person with normal vision, including corrected vision, to read the safety sign or label message panel text at a safe viewing distance from the hazard.

ANSI Z535.4 8.2.2 Determination of Safe Viewing Distance  Determination of safe viewing distance for the message panel text shall take into consideration a reasonable hazard avoidance reaction time.
