Abstract

The effectiveness of safety symbols and hazard pictorials of mine-safety communication was determined in a multi-stage evaluation. The understandability of symbols for 40 messages and the perceived hazardousness of six different surround shapes were assessed. The effectiveness of a subset of 20 symbols was determined during an in-mine evaluation at two mines.
