Abstract

This paper attempts to trace the history of empirical research on warning labels and signs, with particular emphasis on work within the HFES. Observations are made about the focus and methods that have been used, highlighting considerable progress as well as continuing problems. The approach typically taken in work presented to the HFES is compared with safety communication research reported in other disciplines, and suggestions are made for future directions.
