Two sources can be used as starting points:
'Warning Design, a research prospective' by Judy Edworthy and Austin Adams.
Taylor & Fancis. ISBN 07484 0467 8. Published in 1996.
A november 1995 issue of Ergonomics: Volume 38, number 11. A special issue
about: Warnings in research and Practice.
If you can do a search: try to find Michael S. Wogalter and his team. They
have been interested in warnings for a while.
Kind regards,
Karel van der Waarde
