The clear glass bottles means there is a glassware hazard. The animal means there is an animal hazard. These are important because they tell the person in the lab what hazards are involved in an experiment.

The safety symbols used in a laboratory would depend on what kind of lab it is and what activities are pursued in the lab. There is no universal set of safety symbols suitable for all laboratories.
Laboratory symbols are symbols you find inside a laboratory, obviously. They are used to give a warning or precaution to the users of the lab. They also aid in the systematic flow of experiments and safe contact with unfamiliar chemicals.
Safety symbols indicate the presence of instructions about safety at work by the used of signboard, illuminated sign or verbal communication. Hazard alerting, safety information, mandatory action and prohibition symbol are the four types of safety symbols.
This question refers to laboratory safety signals. Two common symbols are the bio-hazard (multiple slashes), and radioactive/radiological which uses stacked triangles.
Everyone should know the meanings of safety symbols. People who do not know them will not be able to follow guidelines, such as wearing goggles, proper disposal of materials, or weather or not a material is radioactive.
Every map has different symbols and meanings to represent a feature. The legend at the bottom of every map has the symbols and their meanings.
Chemical hazard sign meanings can be found at sites like Wikipedia. All of the symbols can be found the health and safety executive online in the UK.
