Abstract The study conducted on 100 students of occupational safety and health (see CIS 10-0648) discussed the "neutral tone" of a message through the students' perception. It was concluded that a significant number of messages were not received as intended, in particular due to the misinterpretation of their emotional components. This technical note examines the mechanisms of the perception of a neutral tone and of the decoding of the message as well as their implications for verbal communications in the field of occupational safety and health.
