Mil-38784 clearly defines when and where any type of admonishment
(Caution, Warning, Note) should appear.

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone on this list knows of any good resources that
clearly defines where cautions/warnings should be placed within a set of
procedures, and how often they should appear.

The following example is how I was taught (to put the cautions before
the
step):

1. Remove the push-in fastener that secures the head-open flag indicator
to
the toggle shaft. Remove the head-open flag.

2. Remove the screw from the head-open latch. Remove the latch.

Caution: Wear protective eyewear when installing or removing E-rings,
C-clips, snap rings, springs, and mounting buttons. These are under
tension and could fly off.

3. Remove the C-clip from the end of the auxiliary roller shaft.

If anyone has any insight, resource, and the like, you feedback would be
much appreciated. In addtion, how often should cautions/warnings appear
in procedures, just in the first instance, or before each instance the
caution/warning is needed.

TIA,

HSC
