A yellow triangle with a hand caught in rollers.
Also known as: Entanglement hazard, Nip point warning, Rollers warning sign, Yellow triangle with a hand in rollers
The entanglement sign warns of a nip point — a place where two moving parts draw material in. It is a specific mechanical hazard rather than a general 'moving machinery' warning, and the pictogram shows the mechanism because the mechanism is the point.
Warns of a risk of entanglement in rotating or in-running machinery parts.

Marks a specific mechanism — an in-running nip between rollers, gears or belts — rather than moving machinery generally.
Contexts: Public information
Belongs to a family of mechanical hazard signs each showing the mechanism, because the required precaution differs between them.
