Risk Reduction and Management
Your workers might be missing 90 percent of the picture, and 90 percent of the risks! Every day, we are bombarded with so much information that our senses – our vision in particular – exist in a state of constant overload. Being able to identify, interpret and act upon visual information – a skill set known in the art and communication world as visual literacy – is more crucial than ever in an increasingly complex and interconnected world. Although conceived from a different context, the application of visual literacy has the potential to drive success across multiple layers of business. From the shop floor to the boardroom, to hazard awareness and pre-job analysis, to risk decision-making, the strategic value of becoming more visually literate can help organizations achieve the next step-change improvement in safety performance.
