• Description:
  Printed materials for training and hazard communication are an essential part of occupational safety and health programs, but must be accessible to their intended audience. Researchers collected 103 safety training handouts, brochures, and Safety Data Sheets designed for distribution to construction workers and scored them for readability and suitability using four standard health communication instruments.
