Katie Aune, CSP & BS in Environmental Health and Safety: No financial relationships to disclose
When working on a patient, your visibility to others around the scene is the least of your concern. Making sure you're wearing the right garments to give you the best visibility from traffic is a decision to be made long before the incident. This presentation gives you knowledge on the science of how we see things and why it is so important. By the end you will not see that safety or enhanced visibility garment in the same way at work and you will think twice about your visibility at home when you are out for that run or taking your dog for a walk. Visibility matters...night and day.
Learning Objectives:
Have a clear understanding of 'biomotion' and how it can help make you more visible.
Understand why both fluorescent color and retroreflective materials are needed to be seen 24 hours a day.
Know the definition of foveal vision and also 1 strength and weakness of it.
