Resistance-skills training interventions, on the other hand, have shown more promise. As described by Flay (1985), these interventions often include some combination of the following informational and skill-building strategies ... 

Causes of early failure include poor policy, planning, training, and system design as well as resistance to change. Factors in chance failure m include drop in employee skill level lack of maintenance overload environment, e.g. dust no performance monitoring lack of effective controls or no planned reviews. Weaiout failure is more likely where financial planning is poor and resources are switehed, there is failure to retrain employees, onty parts of a system are eorrected, outdated methods of work persist, or staff are not consulted. 

Implementing a self-observation process is generally easier than implementing a peer observation process. With self-observations, observers do not have to be trained to provide feedback to their co-workers and do not need to develop skills in handling resistance to the observation process. In addition, the self-observation forms typically do not include comments related to conditions, and the steering committee usually does not have to do the same level of detailed analysis and problem solving that are required in a peer observation process. 

You often hear parents lament that they had no training in how to raise children. Our resistance is partly owing to the lack of confidence in our communication skills (Chapter 13). Proper training and practice as a safety coach increases our ability to actively care for safety in this most beneficial way. 

In the account given here the early systemic involvement of trained chemists within the chemical industry had two major phases. The functional space for the use of academic knowledge was created by the articulation of commercial, statutory and managerial imperatives with a public analytical metric. The combination of this and the existence of a standardized curriculum underpinned the creation of a labour market for analytical chemistry. But from its inception, this prototypic activity of the trained chemist in the works was subject to structural pressures. The standardized laboratory work could be controlled and reallocated to lower level labour. The alternative trajectory for the skilled chemist was either the creation of non-standard research functions within the laboratory, which resisted control, or the assimilation to managerial functions. The early historical development of the position of...
