"Danger" with a Red, Black, and White color scheme is required for high voltage hazards because contact will almost certainly result in death or severe injury.

Yes, most bilingual high voltage signs include the "lightning bolt" or "shocked hand" symbol. This provides a third layer of communication alongside the English and Spanish text. The pictogram acts as a universal warning, maximizing safety compliance and ensuring immediate recognition of the electrical hazard by anyone approaching the equipment.
