Color-coded training method

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Accordingly, the present method of training employs a color-coded system in which specific colors are used to designate particular objects, as well as the task or operation to be performed with each object, and/or the surface upon which the operation is to be performed.
Color-coded visual indicators such as flash cards may be used to teach the individual to associate the color with the object and the operation or surface, and to remind the individual of such association during the performance of tasks.
More specifically, in the case of a janitorial application, each one of a plurality of chemical cleaning agents used to clean certain surfaces is formulated in a specific color or is packaged in a colored container.
A visual indicator, such as a set of flash cards, is provided in which the agent would be depicted in its packaging and in color.
Also indicated on the flash card is a diagrammatic representation of the surfaces to be cleaned by the agent, with the surfaces being depicted in the same color as the cleaning agent.
The worker carries the set of flash cards with him for easy reference while working and to reinforce his training and insure the use of the proper agent for a particular surface.
The cards may be arranged in the set in a particular order corresponding to the specific order of tasks to be performed in a succession.
Although each card may contain written information about the cleaning agent and its application, the principal features of the card are the colored diagrammatic representations of the cleaning agent and the surfaces to be cleaned so that illiterate, dyslexic, or mentally handicapped individuals may readily understand the proper cleaning procedure.
