AN ANGEL AND A BAT

This is a quick and simple perception exercise that is used to demonstrate the fact that different people see different things.  This exercise is a valuable training tool that can be used to assist us in the area of safety.

WHEN TO USE THIS EXERCISE: This exercise can be used during any safety meeting, training session, or safety induction and can be used with groups of any size.  It has many different uses, for example, it can be used when you want to emphasize the reason why it is important to have two or more people involved in identifying hazards in the workplace.

When people see the associated picture some of them will see the angel first and others will see the bat first.  This demonstrates a difference in people’s perception.  This exercise can be used to complement training in the areas of:

• Risk Identification and Assessment
• Incident Investigation
• Task Analysis and Job Hazard Analysis
• Etc.

DURATION
Allow 5 to 10 minutes.

MATERIALS REQUIRED
An overhead or handout of the angel and the bat perception picture.
