“…Other studies shows the impact of the use of personal protective equipment can reduce the risk of accidents (Chung et al, 2023;Oliveira Neto et al, 2022). Then there is also research mentioning safety signs is a very important communication tool for accident prevention, fire safety, health hazard information, and emergency evacuation (Gungor, 2023). However, a low understanding score of some symbols conveys messages from symbols that are not effectively conveyed to the audience.…”

Occupational Safety and Health (K3) is essential in machining engineering lessons at vocational schools because students often carry out practices involving many complex and sharp objects. This research aims to analyze occupational safety and health implementation in machining practical learning. This research uses an ex-post facto quantitative approach—research subjects in class XI machining engineering in four vocational schools with a sample of 172 people. Data collection uses surveys, observations, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. The data analysis technique in this research is regression analysis. The findings show first, there is a significant influence between the application of K3 on learning machining practices. Second, the analysis results of the impact of the application of K3 on learning machining practices are in the weak category. Third, the results of the synthesis and evaluation show that there are four reasons or factors that influence the inadequate implementation of K3 in learning machining practices, including the lack of student knowledge about K3, the lack of school facilities related to K3, the lack of student perception regarding the importance of K3, and the lack of student behavior regarding K3 (motivation, discipline, honesty). This research concludes that applying K3 in learning machining practices is the task of stakeholders and every individual because health and safety at work are some of the supporting aspects towards success.

“…ANSI recommends a specific combination of signal words and colors to denote varying levels of danger [14]. For example, red, along with the signal word 'danger', signifies the highest level of danger, highlighting situations that could lead to fatal injuries if not avoided.…”

Protecting people from the risks associated with products is a critical concern in today’s economy. Pakistan, being the world’s fifth most populous country, lacks the framework of warning labels and therefore faces a significant gap in product warning labels. Pakistan is a representative of a number of countries that export a variety of products to Pakistan; however, warning labels on these goods are typically in English, which might mislead people of Pakistan in perceiving the hazard level. It is therefore imperative to conduct research into the non-textual and cross-cultural understanding of labels from the perspective of Pakistan. This study examined the applicability of ANSI Z535.4 in the context of Pakistan. A total of 66 (34 male and 32 female) undergraduate students with a mean age of 20.5 participated in this study. A meticulous experiment was designed using a nine-point rating scale with anchors on both sides, where one represented ‘not at all hazardous’ and nine represented ‘extremely hazardous’. Participants rated each component of warning labels, i.e., color, symbol, signal words, and their complex configurations. The results showed alignment with the ANSI Z535.4 standards for some components (i.e., colors, symbols, and signal words) and complex configurations, whereas no significant difference was found in perceived hazard levels between green (M = 3.167), blue (M = 3.591, and yellow (M = 3.652) colors, with a p-value greater than 0.05. Participants did not differentiate significantly between signal words, i.e., caution (M = 5.182) and warning (M = 5.879). Participants also did not differentiate significantly between complex configurations, i.e., safety alert–caution–yellow (M = 5.076) and safety alert–warning–orange (M = 5.197), with p-values greater than 0.05. These results state that discrepancies in the perception of warning labels exist. This study is the first of its kind conducted in the context of Pakistan, which will help policy makers to consider the findings before implementing a policy. In fact, differences in perception could result in failure to take appropriate precautions. Nonetheless, these nuances can be overcome with proper awareness through training for the people.
