Supervisors Safety Seminar II included six separate presentations - "What OSHA Is and How It Works," "OSHA Inspections," "Workplace Violations," "Electrical Violations," "Machine Guarding & Other Violations," and "The Big Ten Health Hazards." Can you suggest a more effective way of handling any of the presentations in future sessions.

Comments 1. * Get a better place with more comfortable chairs.
Very well presented. change of speakers
Certainly does a more effective job than a constant
* I think we get too far off the track when team exercises are used, and much more information can be passed on by more direct methods.
Overall, very good. If the session is to be given in one day, consider eliminating some of the workbook exercises. These could be done outside. If possible work in a little more group participation - not essential, but might help.
9 The topics covered by the speaker should be shown in outline on a
separate screen.
Mo. I think the video/slide presentation was very good. the program moving rapidly, but not too rapidly.
Using both kept
* Well presented (5 comments)
Try to cut down on time spent on Big Ten Health Hazards.
Give more detailed information about asbestos and silica and what we intend to do to correct existing conditions (sandblasting, asbestos blankets, etc.)
9 Meed more time for discussion between chapters,
0 More in-depth discussion.
0 More discussion would be helpful, especially in the industrial hygiene area.
2. Added considerably to the program. a Focuses attention where it lies. 0 Brings the message home Excellent idea and recognizable situations and places drove home the fact that we do have problems - even with our emphasis on safety. Focuses attention on application to our areas. Much better than on previous seminar. 0 Certainly more - not less. Some points seem best made by slides alone. Good approach
SAL OOOC2C937
Should not stress individual identification with slides in front of group. Try to get slides with specific items to fit 25 most cited items by OSHA. Taught me to be more observant.
Three of the problems were essentially identical. might be more useful.
Different questions
Helped recognize and try to solve problems.
Our exercise was more useful in helping me think about and understand our safety program in general. I realize how good a program we have relative to a probable industry average.
Organized effort necessary for compliance.
The thing not covered was what time frame do we have to make corrections, i.e., what priority is needed or what manpower do we need and when to get corrections made in timely fashion.
Give out some material to be read before attending seminar.
Gave me more insight about OSHA. Need more of this.
Did not go to Supervising for Excellence (3 comments)
Came in handy-
Yes, team work of problems.
Agree, however, in this type of program I personally think more informa tion and less participation is attractive even considering the involvement and interest angles.
Practice more than confidence.
Define problems.
Not enough time to classify.
Right to the point.
Good exercise.
Hard to decide how others evaluated.
Probably not as effective as it could have been. housekeeping disproportionately stressed.
Fire extinguishers and
More time would have revealed more things.

7. Knew his subject matter well. Kis expertise was respected and helpful.
* Excellent instructor.
Background and experience. * He is an asset to the program and should be used for the complete course
if continued.
8. * More details application.
* Was unfamiliar with scope of act. 0 Give guides on specific OSHA regulations for use in meetings with wage
people
Yes, I did lack the proper information.
9. Excellent
More to the point. Very good subject.
9 Seminar #1 was above average also.
Average compared to the other programs which were very good. * Better preparation.
10. 9 Move program to better location.
0 It may be beneficial to the participants to indicate the growth of safety personnel in numbers and time frame since 1965 (Co. split) to indicate the priority on safety to give confidence to people that safety work will be done.
More.
9 Very good. May need to lengthen to 2 days.
0 Session should be 2 days long to allow full discussion. Some questions I wanted to ask were not asked because of the rush to get to the next topic.
9 Better chair and seating arrangements.
it can be seen.
Also, raise the TV screen to where
Very good.
t
SAL 000020939
Better definition for types of accidents - serious, non-serious, DeMinimis, etc.
c Very appropriate.
Strongly suggest that the atmosphere in the breathing zone of workers be explained and suitable warnings be given. Almost all vapors in chemical plant environment are toxic at high levels.
* Prepared me to observe more closely the potential safety hazards we work around every day.
* By use of video tape one could see and better understand problems. were also very helpful.
Slides
* Strongly believe all plant supervision should attend.
Should be presented to all supervisors and some modification should be available to wage earners.
The tape presentations were not boring and the accompanying exercises broke the monotony. Enjoyed the class.
