Abstract
A review of examples and specifications relating to critical operating procedures revealed considerable variation in recommended standards for highlighting warning messages. An experiment was therefore conducted to examine the effectiveness of various methods of highlighting warning messages contained in the instructions for a novel assembly task. Findings indicated that the presence of warning messages shortened task completion times and reduced error rates between the experimental and control groups.Keywords
