this definitely is no CAUTION. You should consult the ANSI Z535 standard. It
propses a five-level system:
DANGER people can easily be hurt or killed
WARNING people could possibly be hurt of killed
CAUTION people could possibly be endangered and slightly hurt
...and less frequenty used:
NOTICE possibly dangerous sitatuion, goods might be damaged
