Learning to process visual information effectively is more than just theoretical. Organizations looking to improve Environmental Health and Safety processes can adopt this approach to enhance hazard recognition, incident investigation and pre-job safety analysis; decrease incident rates, while saving time; and train their team to engage safely with the workplace environment.
Doug Pontsler—the Chairman and Managing Director of COVE: Center of Visual Expertise—and SafeStart Chairman of the Board Colin Duncan will jointly present a session entitled Learning to See: A New Perspective on Visual Literacy in Safety at the SafeStart Human Factors Conference on November 5th and 6th, 2019.
Before the conference takes place, Pontsler agreed to sit down with SafeStart’s Rodd Wagner to explain what visual literacy is and how it can improve workplace safety.
