Personally I prefer the style of HV warning sign on an X-ray system I once saw in a lab. The power supply could provide something in the region of 10kV at 0.5A.

The warning on the outside said: "Contact with potentials inside this device WILL cause death".

I liked the certainty of the warning.

It's worth adding a sticker like this on the top of a linear to always keep the point in mind.

Remember also, some amplifiers have an interlock switch so you can't run with cover off. There are ways to handle that, but if you need to know
that, please email privately.  k5kvh@arrl.net
Remember the old drawing space filler in QST:  "Switch to Safety".
