Abstract:
Built (constructed) environments should have level surfaces to promote mobility and avoid injuries from trips and falls. Wheel stops (usually long concrete slabs with bolts to hold them in place) are sometimes placed in parking lots to limit and control how drivers position their vehicle in designated spaces. However, they present potential problems for pedestrians…

Abstract:
The past 25 years have experienced a substantial amount of research on safety communications, more specifically, warnings. This article focuses on the most important factors in designing effective warnings. The warning process is modeled in three stages. Effective warnings attract attention; elicit knowledge, and enable compliance behavior. Two main categories are design factors and non-design…

Abstract:
This study examines two main topics concerning the acquisition of health-related information. One was to explore how people interpret some relatively common terms used in the labeling of prescription and non-prescription drugs, specifically focusing on the terms "family history" and "MAOI." The second is to determine the sources people report they would use to gather…

Abstract:
This study compared older and younger adults’ knowledge acquisition and search times for information on older and newer over-the-counter (OTC) drug label formats. The results showed that younger adults were faster than older adults. The younger group performed significantly faster with the newer formatted labels than the older formatted labels, whereas the older adults yielded…

Abstract:
or arbitrary symbols). Some suggestive evidence comes from Lesch (2004) who found that age-related differences in warning symbol comprehension appeared to be related to the rated comprehensibility of the symbols (i.e. given the symbol’s verbal label, how easy is it to understand this symbol in isolation?). The symbols that were initially well understood by the…

Abstract:
Safety researchers have investigated how people assign blame for injuries sustained during the use of or exposure to consumer products.
