Module: Introduction to Visual LIteracy

As part of our Visual Literacy program, COVE is pleased to announce the release of our Introduction to Visual Literacy training module. This module is a prerequisite for understanding the methodologies and principles for the modules to come.

Organizations strive for continuous improvement in their safety results. This module provides employees with new tools to see risk in common situations from a new perspective, using skills and approaches to identify hazards they did not see before.

* Modules are available under a license agreement and supports a train-the-trainer approach.

White Paper:

Seeing the Gaps in Your Safety Program

As organizations struggle to make safety training interesting and as they find it hard to ‘keep things fresh’, Visual Literacy offers a vehicle by which safety officers can address a clear and important gap in their safety programs – and simultaneously renew and refresh existing programs.

Prior to integrating COVE principles into their existing safety training, Owen's Corning had an established HRC training and certification process that focused on how employees typically were injured. Although they had great success with this program, they wanted to embed Visual Literacy practices and concepts into its Hazard Recognition and Control 2.0 program.
