employee concerning safety without all the negative input from Joe.

What will positive communication do?
• How do we proceed?1. Grab the bull by the horns and confront Joe and deal
with the fall out later.
2. Take the new hire aside and tell him that is not the way we do things.
3. In the next few moments, discuss with your group and give us your feed back.

What will negative communication do?
• The main issue is Joe’s attitude towards the safety initiatives of the plant
• If it continues it will effect those that are around him and the culture will suffer
• Take Joe aside and state the issue, and your feelings towards it

Negative Communication, Cont’d
• Discuss what is at stake for the entire team if things remain the same.
• Get to root of Joe’s negative feelings towards safety

• Your company just started an incentive to encourage safety suggestions.
• One of your employees comes up with a great idea that would eliminate a hazard, but you feel it will be cost prohibitive and hard to sell to management.

Group Discussion
• Take the next 2-3 minutes to discuss how you might handle this situation.

What will positive communication do?
• With positive communication, you are more likely to have a positive response and a positive attitude moving forward with this employee.
• Letting them know their ideas are important• Telling them that you will look into their
suggestion– This is a positive approach. – If it is decided that the idea cannot be acted on,
inform the employee of the decision and the reason why it is not feasible.

What will negative communication do?
• Negative communication will only cause hurt feelings and loss of trust in you and other management.
• Telling them they are silly for even presenting the idea will lead to a closed mouth down the road.
• They will be reluctant to give their input.
Scenario #4Maintaining Safety Culture
• Your supervisor has just received a rush order from a customer
• It must go out as soon as possible. • He’s thrown every available employee at the
task to try to meet the deadline. – However, 3 of the employees have never been
trained or read the JSA on the equipment they will be exposed to.
• How will you proceed? This will be your homework…

The “They” Theory
• A term used by all levels of an organization which helps convey a decision that has been made in which the story teller can introduce a new policy, procedure, or change.
• Heavy use of this term will create an “us and them” culture.

The “They” Theory
Negative Communication• No communication = negative communication.• Ignoring a safety issue.• Not seeking input.• Heavy use of the “They” theory.

The “We” Theory
Positive Communication• Have those “fierce” conversations within your
facility.• Address safety issues as they arise – not down
the road.• Schedule face time on the floor to seek
employee input.• Use the “We” theory.
