This document discusses how images and visuals can be used effectively in safety training to enhance learning and engagement. It notes that images get our attention because humans are highly visual and that our ability to create and share images has increased dramatically in recent years. The document then provides several examples of how safety topics like fire extinguisher use and lock-out/tag-out procedures can be taught through images and hands-on activities rather than just text for better understanding and retention, especially for those with language barriers. It encourages trainers to create their own visuals when possible to make materials more flexible, personal and engaging for learners.

- Or like this
- Example of what one company used for LOTO training
- This is drawing practice for us but its also an activity you can use with your training classes – particularly as an opener Designate everyone as an A or a B and give each A a small piece of paper or card with 3 words/things to draw and give each B a small piece of paper or card with three different things to draw. After a few minutes, ask each A to show each B (and vice versa) their drawings and see if the partner can guess what the three drawings represent.
