OSHA Visual Inspection Simulation

In this simulation, you will have the opportunity to practice visual hazard inspection on the following pieces of equipment: Band Saw, Chemical Mixer, Scaffolding, Fall Protection System, Housekeeping Cart, and a Patient Lift.You will have to visual inspect the equipment, see the equipment in operation, and talk to the workers to gain a full understanding of the hazards. Then, you will have to select which hazards exist from a list of potential hazards.

Note: The images below are for the Band Saw, however, each equipment has the same structure.

Step 1

Select Simulation

Select the OSHA Visual Inspection Training from the main menu.

Step 2

Select Equipment

Step 3

User Actions

Inspect Equipment: You have the ability to spin around the equipment to find potential visual hazards.
Observe Operations: This will show any hazards while the worker operates the equipment.
Involve Worker: As in real life, it is always best to learn about situations from the experts (i.e. the workers). Therefore, learning about safety concerns simply by listening to the worker is a great elicitation method of finding safety hazards.
