My comment:

Nothing to add - this is what it says in German, and this is what it says on English signs in factories etc.

My comment:

really depends whether this is a label on a package, machine etc. or a manual subheading...

First of all, it's a notice, not a note. Secondly, the term used is hazard, not danger. Finally, it says 'warning', not 'safety'.

Simpler is not better if you omit one of the elements important to the text. It says (a) Warning, (b) Hazard notice (NOT 'danger').

It's not a 'sign' but a 'notice'. Danger and hazard are synonyms (but only hazard is normally used in this context). 'Warning' is a component of the text, and can't simply be omitted.
