refer to the following standards.

Safety Sign Maintenance
Safety signs are designed and fitted to the machine
to warn of possible hazards. They must be replaced
immediately if they become unreadable or lost. If the
machine is repaired and parts have been replaced
on which safety signs were attached, be sure new
safety signs are installed before the machine is put
into service. Use mild soap and water to clean safety
signs. Do not use solvent based cleaners, which may
damage the safety sign material.
