Live online event to explore symbol-based warnings, standards harmonization, and the role of warnings in modern equipment design

MILFORD, Pa., Jan. 23, 2026 — Clarion Safety Systems has announced that registration is now open for its upcoming free, live webinar, Maximizing Your On-Product Warnings: Understanding Symbol-Based Warnings in Modern Equipment Design, which will take place on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM EST.

This one-hour, instructor-led webinar will focus on the application of ANSI Z535.4 and ISO 3864-2 in real-world product safety labeling, with special attention given to symbol-only and wordless warning formats. These formats are being used more and more in global equipment design and often pose questions for manufacturers regarding their appropriateness, effectiveness, and compliance within a broader risk reduction strategy.

Presented by Angela Lambert, the Head of Standards Compliance at Clarion Safety Systems, the session will offer practical guidance for manufacturers dealing with modern product safety and liability expectations. Clarion Safety Systems has over 30 years of experience in product and workplace safety communication and is actively involved in the development and leadership of ANSI and ISO visual safety standards.

The webinar is intended for safety and design engineers, product managers, EHS professionals, compliance leaders, and others who are responsible for product warnings, instructions, and safeguarding strategies. There will be time reserved for live questions and answers to address the specific challenges of participants.

Topics to be covered include:

• How symbol-only and wordless labels are dealt with in the ANSI Z535 and ISO 3864-2 standards
• Common misunderstandings about symbol use and warning effectiveness
• The role of safety labels in the hierarchy of controls
• How warnings support, but do not replace, engineering controls and safeguarding
• Considerations for global audiences and standardized safety symbols
• An overview of the upcoming 2027 ANSI Z535 revision cycle and why periodic standards review is important for manufacturers.

As product designs change and global distribution grows, understanding how warnings fit in with safeguarding and the overall product safety strategy is crucial for managing risk and meeting regulatory requirements. This webinar aims to clarify where warnings fit in and how they can be used effectively and appropriately.

Angela Lambert has more than a decade of experience in product safety and liability issues and holds leadership positions in ANSI and ISO standards committees. She is the Chair of ANSI Z535.1 Safety Colors, a member of the ANSI Z535 Committee, a member of the U.S. TAG to ISO/TC 145 and ISO/TC 283, and the liaison representative from ISO/TC 145 to ISO/TC 283.
