EXAMiner is a free workplace examination tool developed by researchers with the National Institute for Mine Safety & Health. This tool offers workers the opportunity to practice searching for hazards in virtual environments, and it provides health and safety professionals the opportunity to debrief hazard recognition performance with workers.
