FYI - Here's the summary:
ANSI said:
(ANSI: New York) -- Safety symbols—like those for high voltage, biohazards, a wet floor, and radioactive materials—depend upon consistency and bold graphics to warn against specific hazards and personal injury. A revised American National Standard from the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) provides general principles for the design, evaluation, and use of safety symbols, as well as a procedure to evaluate a given image’s effectiveness in communicating its intended message.

Originally published in 1991 and revised in 1998, the new revision, ANSI Z535.3-2007, American National Standard Criteria for Safety Symbols, incorporates several significant changes. The safety alert symbol has been harmonized with color alternatives specified by the International Organization for Standardization. In addition, Annex A of the document now includes illustrations of the standard’s principles and guidelines. Finally, safety-symbol examples have been moved from the normative body of the standard into Annex C, and a wider variety of symbols related to fire and other safety conditions are now included.

Many safety symbols warn against permanent conditions, but similar visual cues can be used to warn of temporary hazards such as barricades, construction areas, and maintenance activities. NEMA’s revised ANSI Z535.5-2007, American National Standard for Safety Tags and Barricade Tapes (for temporary hazards), establishes a communication system that uses different signal words and colors to distinguish between levels of hazards.

The revised standard defines the requirements for the design and use of safety tags and barricade tapes, establishing a uniform and consistent visual layout for safety information. In the interest of harmonization with international standards, the document now permits the use of different colors with the safety alert symbol.

Well, it's a case by case issue so there are no hard, fast rules except in the case of standards.

Rule of thumb is to post what you want, such as copy/paste like this, but do include an atribute as to where it came from. If someone complains about copyright and the complaint is valid it will be removed. I don't penalize people for posting something that is removed due to copyright questions.

This is essentially an ANSI Press Release so it's not an issue at all.
