Point and call

Someone linked this article in a thread related to worker safety or hazards.
There always seems to be ways to improve safety or reduce failure rate. But the problem is lack of incentive or motivation to make those improvements.
After reading the actual article. The point and call aims to eliminate the "slip" error. By keeping the human awareness focused and engaged in the activity.
- mnw21cam 8y agoI recently went around the USS Midway museum. It struck me that the guy in charge of the catapult would point at each person in turn waiting for an OK, before making a very clear signal to launch. Not quite point and call, mainly because the deck would be too noisy for the call bit, but it worked.
