Stop and act on safety signs during a shift
When to use this goal
For students who can tell what workplace signs mean in practice but walk through a closed area, past a wet floor sign, or into a hard hat zone while working. Present levels in reading signs and in attention to the work setting decide fit.
- Baseline
- Map the signs on the student's usual route and record 6 encounters per shift. A temporary sign the student did not expect tells you more than a fixed sign passed every day.
- Tips
- Every encounter is the standard because a missed sign can mean injury. Set up planned temporary signs with the supervisor so there are enough chances to practice. Pairs with fn-voc-015 for site rules that are not posted.
- Limits
- Planned encounters may be easier than real ones. A student who misses a sign that marks real danger needs closer supervision right away, not only more data.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, during a work shift, each time the student reaches a posted safety sign or hazard placard on the route or at the station, the student will stop at the sign and carry out the action it calls for before continuing the task independently in 6 of 6 opportunities, across 3 consecutive shifts, as measured by direct observation collected at each shift, across six sign encounters.
Baseline: 2 of 6 opportunities.

- Record up to 6 opportunities per session, matching the goal's denominator.
- Define in advance what counts as an opportunity so every data collector records the same thing.
- Count only + marks toward the criterion unless the goal specifies prompted responses.
