TY - JOUR PY - 1975// TI - Industrial design case history: developing a safer gas monitor JO - Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomic Society annual meeting A1 - Bally, Alexander SP - 364 EP - 367 VL - 19 IS - 3 N2 - Developing an enclosure for a portable, industrial gas monitor began with observation of users. Analysis indicated that product form and method of auditory display may be directly related to user safety. Concepts of safety-enhancing forms were generated; a brief field simulation with mock-ups identified the final approach; auditory and compatible visual displays were devised. A final overview describes other design features of the product as it is being marketed today.
