“£seTY NOLES:

In accident prevention work much:
emphasis has been laid on the responsi=
bility of supervision. This respons
bility requires leadership, the same as
other phases of production. But where a
production problem may often be of
technical nature, leadership in Safety
is predominantly a matter of human
relations by attitudes.

How may a supervisor know if he is
inducing the right attitudes? How may
he know if he is providing good leader-
ship? So much has been written and
spoken on this subject that it seems
complicated. It isn't, it is simple but
not always easy.

We are told to be tactful, to be fain

to be a good listener tc give recognition
to others, etc. But these qualities are
attributes of leadership not principles.
They are therefore inconclusive and
provide little criteria by which we may
assess ourselves as leaders. |
let's see if we can discover seme

principles of leadership and how to apply |

them on the job.

1. Observation ~ Yours,not hear say.

2. Decision ~ based on common sence

3. Initiative — appropriate action

Safety supervision, in fact all
supervision requires this sequence to be
kept in tact. From this, it follows that
when a supervisor tolerates an unsafe act

or practice he is allowing his position

to be nibbled awsy. Now we cannot all be
first line supervisors but the principles
of leadership outlined apply to every |
employee in his own personal safety.
Supervisors must accept group respons
ibility. Hmployeex must accept individual
responsibility. And when we as individual
fail to observe an unsafe act or practice,
do not resolve to report it to supervision
for attention and do not carry out our

resolve then we have failed ourselves.
Let us not be failures. It is just this
