SUPERVISORS… WHY? ¨ Available Resource ¨ Inadequate/NO Training ¨ Skilled Craftsman ¨ Failure to correct know ¨ Closest to work environment problems ¨ Inappropriate Planning ¨ Know their personnel ¨ May have worked for a poor leader ¨ Put workers/company at risk ¨ Supervisor violations ¨ Inadequate leadership knowledge/training ¨ Production/Intimidation Focus

WHY ? ? ? 4, 505 Safety is, has and will always be a function of line management. It is where safety occurs.

What Companies Want? ¨ Front Line Supervisors… – Qualified – Experienced – Trained – Competent – Leaders

The PROBLEM… They don’t want to expend the TIME, ENERGY, or MONEY resources to develop a quality supervisor…

What They Settle For… ¨ Good worker… SHOULD be a good foreman ¨ Let’s try a little “on the job training” ¨ Showed up for work everyday ¨ Knows the craft ¨ Dad worked for us for 25 years ¨ Attended OSHA ten hour course

Supervisor Any individual having authority, in the interest of the employer, to hire, transfer, suspend, lay off, recall, promote, discharge, assign, reward, or discipline other employees, or responsibility to direct them, or to adjust their grievances, or effectively to recommend such action, if in connection with the forgoing the exercise of such authority is not of a merely routine or clerical nature, but requires the use of independent judgment. U. S. National Labor Relations Act

Front Line Supervisor ACTIVE PART OF A SUCCESSFUL SAFETY PROCESS
