This chapter introduces several major warning-related concepts. Topics include the plll'poses of warnings and their place in the hazard control hierarchy. The who, what, when and where of warnings are described, followed by a discussion of the con- cepts of hazard control hierarchy and warning systems. A table of generalized design guidelines derived from the warning liter- ature is presented. Lastly, testing using participants from the tar- get population is recommended to verify warning effectiveness.
