Product Description
It seems that warning and risk communications are everywhere. A bottle of correction fluid warns that deliberate inhalation could be fatal, or a desk lamp warns that a bulb bigger than 75 watts could start a fire. The authors explain how best to communicate warnings, whether certain communications are effective, and what factors influence the communication process. Stimulated by the growth in litigation on product liability and associated personal injury, research into warning and risk communication has developed rapidly. This book addresses the major issues in theory, research and applications of warnings and risk communication, uniting the leading international authorities in the field.
