VIT/N
CTL19448
REASONS FOR FEAR TO INTERVENE / QUESTION
Employee does not know how to property intervene.
Profit push on lump sum jobs.
Lack of uniformity & consistency in Dow contract administration.
Working in different Dow plants is sometimes analogous to working for different companies. (Inconsistencies)
Contractor concerns are primarily at the Dow field level. Individual preferences and personalities too often affect business decisions. Dow managers responsible and wanting to do what is right are too far removed.
Contractors believe that in going to Dow management they may win the immediate battle but will lose the war in the long haul. (Loss of work)

AUDIT INSTRUCTIONS
When the Audit Team and the Contractor to be audited have been assembled, it will be necessary to review the audit strategy.
PHILOSOPHY: Audits should be a positive experience for the participants. These sessions are for learn ing value and sharing of safety knowledge. The most useful benefit will be the experience the Audit Team gains as a result of sharing the final information with those who were audited.
TECHNIQUE: The most successful audits are conducted when the Audit Team asks questions; observes. It is to your advantage to question what you perceive as a problem area and log your responses.
PROCESS: The working process of conducting an audit can be designed to fit the Auditors. For exam ple, not everyone has to stay together. You may elect to split into smaller subgroups (2 people minimum) to cover areas of expertise. Whatever way the Audit Team chooses to conduct their audit, some constants have to apply. Those are: 1. Pre-Audit meeting to discuss instructions, philosophy and technique. 2. The audit. 3. Post-Audit meeting, where discussion and grading occur. 4. Immediate communication of the audit results to the auditee. This is the most impor tant step in the process and should be completed as soon as ail the information from the audit has been compiled. The meeting should be positive, constructive and helpful. With these guidelines, the audit will be a positive process in which learning value is ob tained by all those who participated.
