Orange DOD label/sign indicates:

In the DoD labeling system, color cues on hazard signs quickly reveal the type of danger involved. An orange label is reserved for explosives, so this sign indicates explosive materials. That means handling and storage require strict explosive-safety controls: keep them away from heat, sparks, friction, and impact; store in approved magazines; follow established distance and barrier rules; and ensure only trained personnel handle them with proper procedures and supervision. Flammable liquids would use a red or flame-symbol label, toxic substances carry health hazard symbols with different colors, and corrosives have their own distinct pictograms. The orange explosion cue is what sets explosives apart in this system.
