This special issue of Applied Ergonomics concerns the topic of warnings, safety communications designed to decrease harm to people and property. The field has evolved over time, and with it there has been advancement in knowledge and application. The current special issue contains 14 articles that reflect three distinguishable areas within the warnings literature where such changes are taking place in the laboratories and workplaces of our international colleagues: (1) multimodality of warning delivery, (2) emerging application areas, and (3) new methodology. This special issue brings together a set of studies investigating various factors that might impact safety behavior in diverse settings and domains where warnings are likely to be encountered. It is our hope that the special issue will motivate to development and exploration of new ideas regarding warning design and their use in a variety of applications that improve safety.
本期《应用人类工程学》特刊关注警告这一主题,即旨在减少对人员和财产伤害的安全通信。该领域随着时间不断发展,相关知识和应用也取得了进步。本期特刊包含14篇文章,反映了警告文献中三个不同的领域,在我们国际同行的实验室和工作场所中,这些领域正在发生如下变化:(1)警告传递的多模态性,(2)新兴应用领域,以及(3)新方法。本期特刊汇集了一系列研究,调查了在可能遇到警告的各种环境和领域中,可能影响安全行为的各种因素。我们希望本期特刊能够激发关于警告设计及其在各种提高安全性的应用中的使用的新思想的发展和探索。
