Abstract
Technological advances already implemented in other systems can be used to design and deliver warnings and other risk communications in a variety of occupational settings, including manufacturing environments. This article discusses technologies that could be used to design and deliver risk communications. Examples are discussed in terms of potential applications and protocols. As with many advancements, there are new challenges, including ethical considerations both inside and outside the workplace environment. These issues are discussed along with initial approaches to resolve expected ethical conflicts and implement advanced risk communication systems (ARCS). Β© 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
