Supervisors

Erontline supervisors have the greatest opportunity to manage safety, as they are normally at the workplace where the work is carried out They are key to a safety culture change and are expected to  

Educate and train subordinates in methods and techniques on safety and health 

Ensure a safe and healthy workplace free from risk 

Stop unsafe operations and take immediate action 

Eurnish employees with personal protective equipment, instruct than in the 

Incidents considered less than serious can be investigated by the immediate supervisor. 

Supervisors might be accountable to conduct accident investigations at their organizational level. To facilitate this effort, management should train supervisors and ensure that they are familiar with the accident investigation plan. The following might be in a kit for the supervisors to use  

High-visibility tape (to mark off area) Ruler and measuring tape Camera Pencil 

Graph and sketch paper Clip Board Containers and caps Plastic bags and envelopes Accident Investigation Report forms 

Supervisors will have the responsibility for conducting accident investigations as outlined in their job description and dictated in the company s policy.

In order to prevent information loss in case of switching off the general power source, IC WM is supplying through the supervisor MAX 691 from accumulator of 3.6 V and 60 mA h which is only connected with WM in case of supply has stopped. In normal conditions the above accumulator is being charged from power source of -t 5 V. 

Management and Employee Cooperation. Before beginning to collect data, the cooperation of the managers involved, including the first line supervisor, and of the workers should be secured. Management needs to be informed so that they can be confident that surveillance activities will not upset production or lead to injuries. Workers need to know what the valuation means to them and how the results are to be reported. Everyone needs to know how the measurement is to be conducted so that the actual measurement causes as Htde dismption as possible. 

Supervisors are responsible to see that every worker is adequate on the job. Physically, mentally, and emotionally inadequate workers are accident prone. Personal hazards are lack of knowledge, conflict of motives, physical, and mental factors. 

An effective NDE program rehes heavily on periodic certification of the competence of its personnel (13,14). Certification programs designate levels of competence for all levels of personnel. Level I technicians are able to carry out instmctions in an NDE Level III supervisors are qualified to evaluate the needs of the test and devise a scheme that assures the desired level of quaUty or safety. 

Shutdown. Written procedures for normal, as well as for emergency, shutdowns should be prepared, rehearsed, and kept up-to-date. Operating supervisors must be responsible for leaving the process equipment in a safe condition or preparing plant equipment for maintenance work. 

Early Activities. Historically, quahty was entmsted to the artisan, who was solely responsible for the products made. Thus financial success often rested on product quahty. The industrial revolution replaced this system with one in which product quahty was the result of the combined efforts of a group of factory workers. Quahty was ensured through the combination of worker skills and production supervisor monitoring. 

During the oxidation process, leaf color changes from green to copper and a pleasant characteristic aroma develops. In most instances, the proper termination point is deterrnined by the skill of the process supervisor (tea maker) on whose judgment the value of the final product is highly dependent. However, some attempts to control a suitable end point by instmmental techniques have been made. The fermentation step is terrninated by firing (drying).

Assume that the table represents typical production-hne performance. The numbers themselves have been generated on a computer and represent random obseiwations from a population with I = 3.5 and a population standard deviation <7 = 2.45. The sample values reflect the way in which tensile strength can vary by chance alone. In practice, a production supervisor unschooled in statistics but interested in high tensile performance would be despondent on the eighth day and exuberant on the twentieth day. If the supeiwisor were more concerned with uniformity, the lowest and highest points would have been on the eleventh and seventeenth days. 

An objective of statistical analysis is to sei ve as a guide in decision making in the context of normal variation. In the case of the production supervisor, it is to make a decision, with a high probability of being correct, that something has in fact changed the operation. 

At one time most accidents were said to be due to human error, and in a sense they all are. If someone—designer, manager, operator, or maintenance worker—had done something differently, the accident would not have occurred. However, to see how managers and supervisors can prevent them, we have to look more closely at what is meant by human error-. 

Operators are primarily concerned with stable operation and may be leeiy of altering the operation they may fear that operation will drift into a region that cannot be controlled. Supervision may be reluc tant despite their recognizing that a problem exists Any deficiencies with the operation or operating decisions is their responsibility. Permission for conducting the test from the supervisor and the operators will be required. Management cooperation will be required particularly if capital is ultimately needed. Maintenance will be called upon to make modifications to sample locations and perform a sequential pressure measurement. The laboratory personnel, discussed in detail in the next subsection, may view the unit test as an overload to available resources. These concerns must be addressed to ensure accurate sample interpretation. 

Permission Analysts must have the permission of the operators and the supervisors to conduct even the most straightforward tests. While this is part of the analysts preparation, it is important for all involved to know that analysts have that permission. 

Operating Guidelines The test protocol should be developed in consultation with the principal operators and supervisor. Their cooperation and understanding are required for the test to be successful. Once the protocol is approved, analysts should distribute an approved one-page summary of the test protocol to the operators. This should include a concise statement of me purpose of the test, the duration of the test, the operating conditions, and the measurements to be made. The supervisor for the unit should initial the test protocol. Attached to this statement shoiild be the tag sheet that will be used to record measurements. 

Upstream and Downstream Units Upstream and downstream units should be notified of the impending test. If the unit test will last over a period of days, analysts should discuss this with the upstream unit to ensure that they are not scheduling activities that could disrupt feed to the unit under study. Analysts should seek the cooperation of the upstream units by requesting as consistent feed as possible. The downstream units shoiild also be notified to ensure that they will be able to absorb the product from the unit under study. For both units, measurements from their instruments will be useflil to confirm those for the unit under study. If this is the case, analysts must work with those operators and supervisors to ensure that the measurements are made. 

Laboratory The laboratoiy requirements and responsibilities need to be identified and accepted. The laboratoiy supervisor must be aware of the impending test and the hkely demands placed on his/her area of responsibihty. Agreement as to error levels and expected turnaround must be reached. Proper sampling methodology and storage must be established and practiced.

Operating procedures must be written to clearly identify safety issues. Supervisors must be contacted when process conditions deviate from normal. Proper time and procedures must be maintained to transmit information at shift change.

PART 3 - SUPERVISORV REVIEW - Completed by the initiator s supervisor. 

There should be an organization chart for the company showing individual functions and to whom they are responsible. Job descriptions should clearly indicate responsibilities for quality. The assessor should read the job description of the quality assurance/improvement coordinator as well as of a few managers and supervisors to establish the answer to the question. 

Accountants, administrators, agricultural commissioners, air monitoring, supervisors, coordinators (environmental health project, grants, quality assurance, special project and state implementation plan), grants analysts, officers (enforcement, hearings, staff services, technical services and training), supervisors, and technical advisors. 

A monthly lubrication schedule can then be issued to the appropriate maintenance personnel to serve as a reminder. The issuing of the lubrication schedule does not ensure its compliance, and supervisors should check to see that required lubrication is performed. 

Maintenance is not a glamorous procedure however, its importance is second to none. Maintenance procedures are always controversial, since the definition of upkeep varies with the individual interpretation of each maintenance supervisor. The latitude of maintenance ranges from strict planning and execution, inspection and overhaul, accompanied by complete reports and accounting of costs, to the operation of machinery until some failure occurs, and then making the necessary repairs. 

At minimum governor, get another set of vibrational readings. Doeument all readings and observations and file for future referenee with a eopy sent to the unit supervisor and unit engineer. 

The five senior shift supervisors and two maintenance foremen were assumed to be hired nine months before start-up. Their time was divided into 30% checking engineering and construction of the project, 35% operations planning, and 35% training. Five additional shift supervisors were assumed to be hired six months before startup. Their time was assumed to be 100% training and planning for start-up.
