Description:Designing Occupational Safety and Health Training Materials for Clear Communication
Clayton Sinyai, Grace Barlet. Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2020
J Occup Environ Med. 2020 Jun;62(6):431-438.
Written materials remain a building block for occupational safety and health training programs, with a recent survey of construction safety professionals and trainers finding that nearly three out of four had used handouts or brochures during the previous month. However, written materials are effective only if the audience understands them, and developing content for the construction industry can be especially challenging because its workforce has a broad range of literacy skills. Public health professionals at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have created a Clear Communication Index (CCI) to guide the design of health education materials for the general public. This study used the CCI to revise an existing handout on heat exposure hazards in construction, assessing whether the new version was more comprehensible than the old version with an audience of 425 construction apprentices and journey-level workers.
