      • Symbolic indicators and user perception performance in Indian industries and Public places

        Rauf Iqbal,Hiren Shah,Amitabha De,Suman Mukhopadhyay 대한인간공학회 2014 대한인간공학회 학술대회논문집 Vol.2014 No.5

        During the past two decades, the body of empirical research on warning design and evaluation has grown steadily. Consequently, there are now basic principles and guidelines addressing warning design and how to enhance the usability of designs by considering factors internal to the user e.g., beliefs, perceptions of risk and stress. Industrial & public safety icons need to be more recognizable due to globalisation and liberalisation of economies and due necessity to communicate message effectively and effortlessly. Many a times industrial & public safety icons are not recognized, which result in accident, injury and loss. A study was carried out to investigate the recognition rate of symbolic indicators by select industrial workforce and to evaluate whether the icons encountered in “every-day activities” met the comprehension criteria of ISO Standards. The study was conducted on 37 males and 53 females belonging to various age groups and qualification level. The study included 60 icons used in industry (n=30) and public places (n=30). A paper-based icon recognition questionnaire was prepared and used to examine icon recognition and perception performance over different groups. Each icon was given a unique code for its identification which the participant needed to search out from the codes given below the corresponding icon and fill it in their response sheet. Results show that failure rate to recognize icons used in industrial operations are much higher than the icons used in public places. Recognition rate of 50% industrial icons have been found below the recognition rate as stated in ISO standard (>67%). Results of ANOVA for industrial icons show that recognition rate varies with educational background (p<0.008), educational back ground and gender (p<0.04), gender and age group (p<0.03). But is case of public icons there were no significant difference among gender, age and educational background in comprehension of icons. Safety icons are designed to increase customer and worker safety, problems occur if the icons are failed to click human recognition. An effective symbol must be easily distinguishable compared with others. The challenge during design is to foreseeing cognition ability of the users’ across age, sex and social background. In industrial situation, workers should be exposed to training - especially when they work in environments that expose them to hazards of various kinds.

        Safety Management Practices in Small and Medium Enterprises in India

        Seema Unnikrishnan,Rauf Iqbal,Anju Singh,Indrayani M. Nimkar 한국산업안전보건공단 산업안전보건연구원 2015 Safety and health at work Vol.6 No.1

        Background: Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are often the main pillar of an economy. Minor accidents,ergonomics problems, old and outdated machinery, and lack of awareness have created a needfor implementation of safety practices in SMEs. Implementation of healthy working conditions createspositive impacts on economic and social development. Methods: In this study, a questionnaire was developed and administered to 30 randomly chosen SMEs inand around Mumbai, Maharashtra, and other states in India to evaluate safety practices implemented intheir facilities. The study also looked into the barriers and drivers for technology innovation and suggestionswere also received from the respondent SMEs for best practices on safety issues. Results: In some SMEs, risks associated with safety issues were increased whereas risks were decreasedin others. Safety management practices are inadequate in most SMEs. Market competitiveness, betterefficiency, less risk, and stringent laws were found to be most significant drivers; and financial constraints,lack of awareness, resistance to change, and lack of training for employees were found to bemain barriers. Conclusion: Competition between SMEs was found to be major reason for implementation of safetypractices in the SMEs. The major contribution of the study has been awareness building on safety issuesin the SMEs that participated in the project.
