Not all decisions are made in the boardroom. Employees make decisions that affect the organization, its reputation, and financial well-being every day.

Today’s industrial complexes and office spaces employ vast numbers of redundant systems so to ensure continued operations in the event of equipment failure. Consequently, those who operate and maintain these systems are constantly challenged to perform their work on the appropriate equipment train. In order to avoid wrong-train accidents, operators and maintainers should employ error reduction tools that help them identify the appropriate system train on which to conduct their work.

Today’s industrial and office workplace environments present many hazards. Individuals understanding their jobsite’s hazards are better able to avoid or mitigate the negative impacts of those risks. Therefore, workers should be trained on the hazards unique to their workplace environment so to enable them to proactively recognize and respond to these risks through the effective use of jobsite inspections.
