Hazard Recognition
Whether hazards exist because of inadequate illumination, poor identification, bad visibility or camouflage, the Hazard Recognition program will assist management, supervisors, and employees in identifying hazards within their work-site. Through the eye of a 35 mm camera, a general walk-through safety audit is completed. A training program is presented later to management, supervisors, and employees utilizing generic slides showing various types of safety hazards. Employees are then taken through their own plant visually, slide by slide, reviewing the recently completed safety audit. Call for pricing.
