Visual Controls
Visual controls are simple signals that provide an immediate understanding to everyone of what needs to be done. A work place that uses visual controls can reduce the chance for miscommunication among employees and supervisors alike. The key is to keep it simple, standardized and effective. This course is typically a half-day in duration and is often combined with other course offerings.
