HFS105e: Cognition and Info Processing - Safety Sign Analysis

This presentation analyzes three different safety signs using the Communication-Human Information Processing (C-HIP) model to assess their effectiveness. The analysis considers the environmental stimuli, source, channel, delivery, attention switch, attention maintenance, comprehension, memory, beliefs, attitudes, motivation, and behavior associated with each sign. The presentation evaluates a caution poster for beehives, a safety level sign from a medicine bottle, and a caution poster found in a shopping mall. For each sign, the presentation discusses its purpose, provides a detailed analysis using the C-HIP model, highlights both good and bad aspects of the design, and proposes changes to improve the sign's effectiveness. The goal is to understand how cognitive processes influence the interpretation and impact of safety warnings, with the aim of improving their design for optimal communication and safety compliance. The presentation also includes relevant references to academic literature supporting the analysis.
