The design communicates necessary information effectively to the user, regardless of ambient conditions or the user's sensory abilities. Guidelines: Uses different modes (pictorial, verbal, tactile) for redundant presentation of essential information. Provides adequate contrast between essential information and its surroundings. Maximizes "legibility" of essential information. Differentiates elements in ways that can be described which includes making it easy to give instructions or directions. Provides compatibility with a variety of techniques or devices used by people with sensory limitations. 5. Tolerance for Error. The design minimizes hazards and the adverse consequences of accidental or unintended actions. Guidelines: Arranges elements to minimize hazards and errors: most used elements, most accessible; hazardous elements eliminated, isolated, or shielded. Provides warnings of hazards and errors. Provides fail-safe features. Discourages unconscious action in tasks that require vigilance. 6. Low Physical Effort. The design can be used efficiently and comfortably and with a minimum of fatigue.
