This is an image of a laser warning sign. These signs are used anytime there is a laser which may cause damage to someone’s vision if their eyes are directly exposed to it. I work in retail, and the scanner I use to scan barcodes has one of these symbols on it. This design is pretty easy to understand, the yellow and black colors not only create a good sense of contrast but are also commonly used in warnings, so it immediately grants the user with a sense of caution. Aside from that, the triangular shape of the sign is another sign to the viewer that they need to pay attention to it, as triangles are a very common shape for warnings such as this. When viewed in the right context, such as on a scanner, the symbol is quite recognisable. However, I do think that a small bit of redesigning could be done to make sure that all of the lines in the center are perceived as a laser and nothing else.
