Program description:
What if there was a simple and free tool that can help you train employees to identify hazards in their work area? This tool is the energy wheel. Energy based hazard identification is not new. Using energy sources to identify hazards in the work area has been used as a hazard identification tool by many companies for quite some time. The concept is to use these main sources of energy to identify hazards in the workplace. Studies show that workers only identify about 45% of hazards in their work area during pre-job safety briefings. Those who use the Energy Wheel find up to 30% more hazards in the work area during pre-task planning. The energy wheel is effective because it provides a simple set of reminders to search for hazards that are commonly overlooked.
