SUPERVISORY/ORGANIZATIONAL APPROACH

SUPERVISORY/ORGANIZATIONAL
Focus on how supervisory systems and organizational factors
could be modified to improve human performance and reduce
errors.
When considering ways of modifying supervisory and
organizational factors, ask yourself:
● How could the selection and/or promotion of supervisors
be improved to enhance the quality of
front line supervision?
● How could methods be developed to improve supervisors'
communication with their staff?
● How could incentives be implemented to encourage
supervisors to be more actively concerned or involved
with safety issues in their unit?
● How could changes be made to better empower
supervisors to correct problems or address concerns?
● How could the training or experience of supervisors be
modified to improve supervisory oversight and planning?
● How could supervisory involvement and oversight/
monitoring be improved to impact safety?
● How could production pressures on supervisors be
changed to reduce the impact on unsafe acts?
● How could the awareness and appreciation of hazards
and risk by supervisors be enhanced?
● How could standard operating procedures (SOPs) be
modified to reduce risks and improve safety?
