Abstract:
The effects of various elements comprising warning signs and labels on connoted hazard and perceived conspicuity were examined. The warning elements that were orthogonally manipulated included signal word, color, print/background color reversal, panel size, font size, and letter case. The component manipulations combined to produce 98 different warning configurations. The results confirmed some aspects of…

Abstract:
Signal words, such as DANGER and WARNING have been used in print (visual) warnings wilh the intention of evoking dillerent levels of perceived hazard. However, there is limited research on whether auditol)' presentation of these words connote different levels of perceived hazard. In the present study, five voiced signal words were used to produce sound…

Year:
1993
58. Silver, N. C., Gammella, D. S., Barlow, A. N., & Wogalter, M. S. (1993). Connoted strength of signal words by elderly and non-native English speakers. Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 37, 516-519.

A number of recent studies have examined the connoted strength of signal words used in sign and product label warnings. These words, . such as D.ANGER, W ARNIN.G, and CAUTION, are intended to differentiate various levels of hazard (high to low, respecl1vely). Until recently, most studies have only used college students to evaluate signal words.…

Abstract:
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that 6,000 traffic crashes are caused by improper vehicle maintenance and defective tires annually. A number of studies, including a large-scale survey conducted by the American Automobile Association (AAA) Foundation, indicate that many consumers lack adequate knowledge and skills to carryout proper maintenance on their tires. One…

Abstract:
John W. Brelsford Jr. Psychology Department Rice University Houston, Texas 77251 Two questionnaire studies were conducted examining potential components of perceptions of consumer product hazardousness. In Study 1 subjects rated 72 consumer products on perceived hazardousness, expected severity of injuries, and perceived likelihood of injury. The results indicate that severity relates more strongly than injury…

Abstract:
/ Introduction Warnings and warnings-related issues continue to be an important focal point of liti- gation in the U.S. Many personal injury cases, for example, revolve around questions associated with residual hazards in products, facilities, or user environments – and the steps the manufacturer of a product, or the parties responsible for the safe operation…

Abstract:
11li.s chapter describes the design of warning signs in the do- main of physical ergonomics. The design of effective warnings for hazards regarding musculoskeletal injury requires knowl- edge about potential risk factors and injury mechanisms and should consider the anthropometric , biomechanical , and motor skill abilities of the target population. This information should be…

1998

Abstract:
Although the Hazard Communication Standard (OSHA, 1994) provides recommendations for the type of information contained in materials safety data sheets (MSDSs), there are no regulations for the order in which information should be presented. Research and theory suggest that information displays that are constructed to match the user’s mental model facilitate visual search efficiency and…
