Build Skills That Improve Hazard Identification

At a Glance

Filled in by Brain

Research shows we only see as little as 10% of what we look at, the remaining is filled in by our brain.

Failure to See

A recent study identified that ~24% of incidents had the failure to “see” as a contributing factor.

Increased Observations

Study shows a 38% increase in observations leading to better diagnoses

COVE’s cutting-edge Visual Literacy curriculum is based on the expertise of the Toledo Museum of Art in teaching people how to see and interpret works of art more completely.

These lessons can be applied not only to works of art, but to what we see personally and professionally. We are putting theory into practice, working with major organizations to drive success at every level by implementing strategies for seeing better in the workplace.
