R/S means "risk and safety".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk_and_Safety_Statements

So I think the icon is appropriate.

That simbol means "Biological Hazard".

This is compliant whith the ISO 3864, wich specifies international standards for safety symbols.

-> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biohazard

""A biological hazard or biohazard is an organism, or substance derived from an organism, that poses a threat to (primarily) human health. This can include medical waste, samples of a microorganism, virus or toxin (from a biological source) that can impact human health.""

It's not relatad to other kind of threaths or hazards, like chemical products or radioative metals.

We have the radioactive simbol, the toxic simbol, the chemical hazard simbol.

Please, check this page:
