ANSI Z535 defines the words Danger, Warning and Caution as well as the respective colors Red, Orange and Yellow which is widely used in the U.S.
NFPA 70E defines the minimum information to be an arc flash label but leaves the color code and signal words up to the user.
Which of the following do you use for your labeling?

We thought about this one for a while. Red / Danger seems most appropriate for any arc flash since it emphasizes death which is a real possiblity.
However we were afraid that if we used Red everywhere it would dilute it's meaning so we are using Orange every where and reserving "Red" for the big event i.e. > 40 cal/cm^2 btw, great question.

One way
Yellow for level 0
Orange for 1 - 4
Red for greater than 4

All Red.
There already exist too many aspects to consider. Color coding could become another liability if done slightly wrong
