“…Results clearly indicated respondents' preference for non-technical farm safety and health resources. Several other studies have shown similar results indicating many resources on agricultural safety are cluttered and overwritten, so the information is not read [16,17,30,31], a salient point for safety and health professionals to consider as they produce educational materials. Literacy levels and educationally appropriate communication schemes should be considered when creating materials for a range of recipients.…”

“…Looking at undeveloped countries use of communication modes such as radio messaging as a perceived and effective method of transferring agricultural knowledge to farmers [13,14], helps more advanced societies develop more progressive electronic communication channels. Countries across the globe seek ways to meet the educational needs of their farmers [13][14][15][16][17][18]. Although this project investigates U.S. farmers, the data collected is pertinent to other countries safety and health education.…”

“…Also in this case, the procedure of a preliminary setting of the PTO speed before switching it on was not immediate for the novices. The described difficulties in interpreting icons and signals on or near the controls is in line with some previous studies reporting low comprehension scores of safety pictograms affixed to agricultural machinery (Caffaro & Cavallo, 2015;Caffaro et al, 2017a). This outcome should be examined more in depth since icons, signals and pictograms are supposed to be self-explanatory and able to quickly communicate concepts and instructions, compared to a written language (Edworthy & Adams, 1996).…”

“…This brings operators into close contact with components that may present a risk of entanglement [15,17,18]. Risky behavior is also the result of operators not reading operation manuals, particularly the safety warnings [19,20] and often not noticing or understanding the safety instructions and the pictograms affixed on the machine [21,22].…”
