Hidden among a busy workshop full of tools and busy workers are multiple health hazards.
To ensure the safety of employees who are most likely unaware of the dangers lurking in the space, put on your thinking cap, or hard helmet.
If you spot them all in less than 30 seconds, you will surely take the title of mastermind.
Items to look out for include a blocked fire exit, an unsecured, heavy item on a high shelf, a partially covered safety notice, improper storage of liquids, and trailing wires.
There is even an unattended table saw left running.
And time is ticking, especially since all these things can lead to a dangerous situation.
In case of emergency, workers must get out as quickly as possible, but above the door on the left you will see a green exit sign blocked by wooden boards.
And that’s just the first sign of trouble.
In the middle of the workplace, on the top shelf next to the clock, you’ll see the next serious safety issue – an unsecured toolbox that looks like it could topple over at any second.
Keep scanning the scene until your eye moves to the right side of the teaser, to the panel next to the window, where you’ll notice a security notice covered in papers.
Anyone can see a grazing goat – but you have 20-20 vision and a high IQ if you find its owner in 12 seconds
After all, it’s not very safe.
To prevent another potential disaster, be on the lookout for improperly stored liquids that you’ll find under a wooden tool table.
Hurry because it looks like the leak is already coming.
If you zoom in on the outlet in the brick wall to the right next to the unsuspecting worker sitting at the desk, you’ll notice something troubling: wires going in two directions.
Someone could easily trip and fall if not corrected quickly.
Your job of saving lives isn’t over yet.
Closer to the front of the precarious scene, in the middle of the other two tables where workers are, well, working, is an unattended table with a saw that has been left running.
Advantages of brain teasers and optical illusions
Researchers have developed many tests to show how different regions of the brain respond to brain teasers and optical illusions. There are many advantages.
- They are not only entertaining, but shed light on how our brain interprets visual data.
- By regularly exercising your brain, you improve your ability to focus and observe details.
- Studies have shown that people who regularly face optical illusions and puzzles see great improvements in their problem-solving skills, concentration and attention.
- Improved concentration and attention span can prevent cognitive decline in old age.
- Optical illusions can improve vision by allowing you to see fine print.
Did you spot them all before time runs out? congratulations!
