Abstract
This study is aimed to evaluate the comprehensibility of 40 safety prohibition signs in accordance with China’s current national standards and their relevance to three ergonomic principles (familiarity, physical representation, and conceptual compatibility) of sign design, thereby discovering signs of poor comprehensibility. Twenty elderly people aged 60 and above were included in this study for the sign comprehensibility test and ergonomics principles evaluation test. The results revealed that there were 13 signs with a correct comprehensibility rate of 0, and no signs had a comprehensibility rate of greater than 67% specified in ISO 3864–3 (2006). A lot of signs with poor comprehensibility need to be redesigned, which should abide by ergonomics principles, thereby improving people’s comprehension. This study can provide a sound theoretical basis for researchers and designers when improving these signs to design comprehensible signs for safety enhancement.
