A GUIDE FOR FIXED SAFETY PICTOGRAM SIGNAGE IN WORKPLACES BASED ON HUMAN FACTORS APPROACH

摘要


The aim of this paper is to propose a practical guide for application of fixed safety pictograms in workplaces. Initially, the two main relevant models in literature are combined to analyze the cognitive stages and functions of information processing and communication, from human factors’ aspect. Findings of existing research and analysis are applied in all stages also incorporating findings from Risk Perception and Human Reliability research. All findings are then synthesized in a guide including the steps of target-behavior selection, pictogram design and location. Although a lot of issues remain to be researched, a number of practical guidelines is proposed, aiming to enhance the process of selection, design and location of safety signs by incorporating aspects of human factors.
