Recognizing Hazards Both On and Off the Job

摘要

The expression "hindsight is 20/20" sums up the understanding people gain after an unwanted event occurs. But how can people "see" the outcome of an event before it happens, especially when it comes to safely performing tasks in the home or workplace? One way employers can protect the investments made in human resources is to strengthen the hazard perception skills of their employees. Training employees to recognize existing and potential hazards and developing safe work habits that are consistently reinforced can help employees become aware of their actions and work safely - whether they're at home or in the workplace.
