本研究目的是設計GHS教育訓練教材，探討受測者接受不同訓練教材後對GHS圖示與分類之學習影響，以及探討不同性別或年齡之影響。
共設計三種不同版本之訓練教材，教材設計是考慮不同文字敘述及增加情境圖片，三種版本都以語音旁白之投影片播放方式進行教學。參與研究之受測者共有59名，分成三組實驗組實施訓練與訓練後兩次測驗(訓練後測驗及一個月後測驗)，測驗包括五項分測驗。
研究結果發現受測者接受三種GHS教材訓練，不論是後測驗或一個月後測驗，各項測驗成績都有顯著提升，尤其是危害圖示風險知覺一個月後接近於「高度風險」知覺，GHS態度之改變也在一個月後顯著高於後測驗。不同訓練教材對學習之影響，及對風險知覺與GHS態度之改變沒有顯著差異。性別與年齡因素不會影響GHS危害圖示之學習，及對危害物質風險知覺與GHS態度之改變沒有影響。
受測者對於加入情境照片之B版本的學習效果沒有顯著優於A版本，可能原因是加入照片之影響不顯著，未來應增加或選擇更顯著之情境照片或影片增加訓練效果，並後續再驗證。 The purpose of the study was to explore the training effects on the hazard pictograms and classifications through designing an experimental materials based on Globally Harmonized System of Classification and labeling of Chemicals (GHS). The responses of trainees from groups of different genders or ages were also investigated.
Three different versions of the training materials were designed in this study. These teaching materials were represented with different narrative and additional warning pictures; moreover, three versions all contained voice narration and taught in auto-broadcasting slide shows. There were 59 subjects in total participating in the study which were assigned into three experimental groups. All of research subjects attended the training and participated in two post-training tests, with one post-test and the other one month later. The tests included five subtests.
The result showed that from the three GHS trainings, both post-test and one-month-later tests, the scored were significantly increased. After one month from training, especially, the change of perception risk of hazard pictogram was close to "high risk perception". Moreover, after training, GHS attitude was also significantly increased. The measurement on attitude of test after a month was even higher than post-test. There were no significant effects among different training materials. Gender and age factors did not affect hazard pictogram of GHS from training, the hazardous pictograms risk perception, and the GHS attitude.
Furthermore, research result showed that the effects of added warning pictures of B version did not significantly better than the A version. The possible causes were the warning pictures added were not significant enough. In the future study, more significantly warning pictures may be added to training materials to increase training effect.
