The Energy Wheel is a visual multi-select question that helps field workers find every energy source in play before starting a task. Workers tap each source on the wheel that applies, and ANVL then takes them through follow-up questions for each source they selected, one at a time. It works the same way as Icon Multi Select, but shows the options as a wheel of up to 10 icons instead of a grid.
An example Energy Wheel could include sources like: Gravity, Motion, Mechanical, Electrical, Pressure, Temperature, Chemical, Biological, Radiation, and Sound.
Steps:
Before you Begin: Make sure you have Workflow Manager access to Editor in ANVL Insights, and that your mobile users have the latest version of the ANVL app. Decide what follow-up questions you want for each energy source, such as controls in place, PPE, or a stop-work check.
Add the Energy Wheel to a workflow (Editor)
Open ANVL Insights, select Mobilize, then select Editor.
Open the workflow draft you want to update, or create a new one.
Open the Library tab and drag the Multi-Select Wheel question type into the workflow where hazard identification should happen.
Add the follow-up question(s) for each energy source, the same way you would for Icon Multi Select. Each source a worker selects will open its own follow-up questions.
Set up any routing, tags, or scoring you need, the same way you would for other multi-select questions.
Click Save, then click the rocket icon on the Drafts page to Publish.
Complete the Energy Wheel (Mobile App)
Start the workflow as you normally would.
When you reach the Energy Wheel, tap the + on each energy source that is present for your task. The counter below the wheel shows how many sources you’ve selected.
To remove a source you selected by mistake, tap it again.
Tap Done when you’ve selected every source that applies.
Answer the follow-up questions for each source you selected. ANVL takes you through them one source at a time.
Tap Back at any point to go back to the previous screen.
Tip: Think through the whole task, not just the obvious hazards. Gravity (falls, dropped objects), stored pressure, and electrical energy are often involved in serious injuries and fatalities even when they aren’t the main focus of the job.
