DOE-STD-1029-92
[5]
Place warnings ahead of cautions whenever more than one type is used at the same
point in a procedure.
[6]
Do not include action steps in warnings and cautions.
[7]
Write warnings and cautions as short, concise statements. Write warnings and
cautions as statements rather than as commands to distinguish them from action
steps (for example, "Touching this wire will electrocute you!"). Do not embed an
action step in a warning format (for example, do not rewrite the instruction "Shut
the valve," as "The valve should be shut").
[8]
Ensure that cautions and warnings provide (a) a description of the hazardous
condition, (b) the consequences of failing to heed the warning or caution, and
(c) critical time considerations.
[9]
Present the text of warnings and cautions using appropriate techniques to ensure
visual identification. (Do not use all capital letters to distinguish warnings and
cautions because they are hard for users to read.)
[10]
Include only one topic in each warning or caution.
[11]
Number each warning or caution when more than one exists (see Example 4-16).
[12]
If the danger is present during the entire procedure, place the warning or caution in
the precautions and limitations section.
[13]
Repeat the information in precautions as separate cautions or warnings within the
body of the procedure as it applies to individual action steps.
Avoid overusing warnings and cautions.
[14]
EXAMPLE 4-16. Numbered cautions.

regulator field.
