Expected Supervision

The expected supervision scale has 6 items, and both versions are shown in Table 9.6. Scale items were developed based on the discussion of supervisor behavior required to ensure new employee safety in Chap. 4, Sect. 4.2.8. At the time of writing, no data on the psychometric properties of this scale had been collected. As noted in Chap. 3, supervision of new employees should be a specific task assigned to supervisors. Furthermore, new employees are likely to expect that supervisors will be there to ensure their safety. As noted in many places in this book, the perception that a system has a component which is there to protect a person from risk can lead to more risk being taken. Thus, it is very important that new employees have a realistic perception of the degree of supervision that they will receive. It is also important to note that employees (job incumbents) are asked to complete this scale—not supervisors. Employees should be able to respond to the items in terms of the experiences they have had with supervision, whereas supervisors may respond in terms of what higher management expect of them, rather than their actual supervision of new employees. 

Management will be quick to respond to the safety concerns of employees Management are quick to respond to the safety concerns of employees 

Management will be actively involved in safety programs Management are actively involved in safety programs 

Management will maintain a safe workplace Management maintain a safe wrakplace 

Management will take a proactive approach to safety Management take a proactive approach to safety

Dronabinol is indicated for the treatment of the nausea and vomiting produced by cancer chemotherapy in patients who have failed to respond adequately to other conventional treatments. This agent may be habit forming and can be expected to produce disturbing psychomimetic reactions. It should only be used under close supervision. 

Ia the 1990s robotics guided by artificial iateUigeace are expected to play a role comparable to that of electronics in the 1940s and 1950s (6). Expert systems, which are knowledge-based systems that can effectively represent and apply factual knowledge in specific areas of human expertise, seem ideaUy suited to robot supervision. 

As microprocessor-based controls displaced hardwired electronic and pneumatic controls, the impac t on plant safety has definitely been positive. When automated procedures replace manual procedures for routine operations, the probability of human errors leading to hazardous situations is lowered. The enhanced capability for presenting information to the process operators in a timely manner and in the most meaningful form increases the operator s awareness of the current conditions in the process. Process operators are expected to exercise due diligence in the supervision of the process, and timely recognition of an abnormal situation reduces the likelihood that the situation will progress to the hazardous state. Figure 8-88 depicts the layers of safety protection in a typical chemical jdant. 

The British Standard also uses the Assigned Protection Eactor, i.e. tlie level of respiratory protection that can realistically be expected to be achieved in the workplace by 95% of adequately trained and supervised workers, using a properly functioning and correctly fitted respiratory protective device (see Table 13.9)... 

In all of these cases, the extent and nature of supervision can vary greatly. Like management systems themselves, supervision can be results-oiiented or procedurally focused, depending on the preferences of the company and the individual. One boss may tell her staff, "Fix that problem we re having with the product specs in the ag-chem division," and expect to hear no more about it until the problem is resolved. Another supervisor with the same problem may expect a detailed situation analysis, formal recommendations, and con-... 

The man removing the slip-plate was killed. It was unrealistic to expect a foreman to look after normal operations and simultaneously supervise construction work at a distant site. 

OXYTOCIN The patient receiving oxytocin to induce labor may have concern over the use of the drug to produce contractions. When given to induce or stimulate contractions, oxytocin may only be given intravenously (IV). The nurse explains the purpose of the IV infusion and the expected results to the patient. Because the patient receiving oxytocin must be closely supervised, the nurse spends time with the patient and offers encouragement and reassurance to help reduce anxiety. 

In this scheme, mentoring is a specify nature of reiationship, e.g. one-to-one). They are expected to last for specify duration of the relationships) and pairs are meant to meet on a weekly/fort-nightly/ monthly/hi-monthiy) basis. The relationship supervisor (program co-ordinator) will supervise the mentoring relationship. S/he is the first point of contact for mentors and mentees should there be any queries/problems. S/he is also responsible for providing feedback to the program co-ordinator regarding the success of the relationship. 

Therapeutic communities are supervised communal drug-free living situations for opioid and nonopioid drug abusers. Because substance abuse is viewed as a disorder of the whole person, the goal is a dramatic alteration of the addict s entire lifestyle (DeLeon 1985). Addicts are expected to five in these communities for 6—18 months. Therefore, they are not indicated for people who have a strong intimate relationship or stable employment. The community is a surrogate fam-... 

The ultimate purpose of a type model is to support the action specs — expect to add to it, and eventually to drop parts as irrelevant. So for a drawing-editor, we might add the idea of a current selection. For a library management system, we might drop the business model s Librarian-Librarian supervises link, since the actions expected of the system never use it. 

KirchhofF and Bunsen s laboratory was an important center of scientific activity. This should have made it an ideal place for a young scientist to work. However, Mendeleev did not get along well with Bunsen, who supervised his experimental work. Mendeleev wanted to pursue some ideas of his own, while Bunsen expected him to perform the assignments that were given him. One day Mendeleev s frustration led to an outburst of anger, and he abruptly walked out. Though he continued to attend Kirchhoff s and Bunsen s lectures, he made up his mind to set up his own laboratory in his lodgings. 

Like this person, you might be surprised to learn that writing is so important at work. But think about it for a minute Is most of your mail from friends and family Or, is most of your mail made up of bills, letters from businesses, and advertising inserts If you re like most people, you get a lot of business mail. Someone at a company wrote all that stuff. In fact, workplace writing begins even before you get hired— you apply for a job with a cover letter, resume, and often an application form. And it doesn t stop there. At work, you will be expected to write e-mails, memos, business letters, reports, and even performance evaluations— if not for people you supervise, then probably for yourself It all adds up to lots of writing at work. 

Although the safety profile of SLIT is satisfactory, it is important to underline that physicians who prescribe IT need adequate training in allergology and specialist supervision is always necessary. The therapy should only be prescribed by specialists, after a detailed diagnosis has been made and the expected benefit/cost ratio has been carefully evaluated. Patients should be instructed to carefully follow the manufacturer s schedule of administration and to visit the clinic at least every 3 months. Only standardized extracts with proven efficacy (grass, Parietaria, mites, olive, birch) should be used. Since SLIT (and LNIT) is self-administered, detailed instructions and follow-up of the patients are mandatory. 

Each manufacturer shall establish and maintain requirements for the health, cleanliness,personal practices, and clothing of personnel if contact between such personnel and product orenvironment could reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on product quality. Themanufacturer shall ensure that maintenance and other personnel who are required to worktemporarily under special environmental conditions are appropriately trained or supervised bya trained individual.
