| Abstract: | The faulty communication versus risky decision hypotheses of failure to follow safety instructions were explored in a laboratory experiment. Four groups of 10 make college students differing in tool-using experience and safety orientation were asked to perform work sample activities with an electric chain saw. Safety orientation was provided by classroom lecture content. Dependent variables were compliance with safety warnings contained in the chain saw. |
