What is visual literacy? The concept as it applies to the workplace began with the Toledo Museum of Art which, in 2015, began working with several area businesses, including Owens Corning, to see if visual literacy can improve worker’s ability to identify hazards. Museum officials believe that by teaching employees about how to look at art identifying elements of color, line, shape and space as well as balance, proportion and emphasis they can see their workspace in way...s that have become lost through everyday exposure. As an example, they suggest a machine operator who has looked at the same work area for years and has never noticed a hazard such as a worn surface. After taking the training, the Owens Corning employees identified several hazards such as steps with worn tread and a missing handrail, as well as a shutoff fail-safe with edges that had become jagged over time.
