How do safety symbols help ensure your safety in the science lab?

Answer:
Safety symbols are a quick and unambiguous means of communicating hazards and necessary precautions that do not depend on your being able to understand the language in which a sign is written.

They work because they require less time to be read and understood, and are less likely to be misunderstood or overlooked in the general clutter of communications.

They ensure your safety only to the extent that they effectively inform you of what you must do to protect yourself, and you then do it.
