In the past it very often happened that even clearly marked containers were roughly handled or wrongly stored – simply because the stevedores loading or unloading them could not understand the directions and warnings! For this reason the practice has developed of stencilling symbols representing warnings and directions: these can be understood by speakers of any language.
