Good Attitude and worker Teamwork can help improve safety and quality.

Researchers have identified 10 teamwork processes that fall into three categories:

Transition processes (between periods of action) Mission analysis

Goal specification

Strategy formulation

Action processes (when the team attempts to accomplish its goals and objectives) Monitoring progress toward goals

Systems monitoring

Team monitoring and backup behavior

Coordination

Interpersonal processes (present in both action periods and transition periods) Conflict management

Motivation and confidence building

Affect management 

Researchers have confirmed that performing teamwork works better when you are with a close person. This is due to a chemical called serotonin Hydroxytryptamine which helps an individual to communicate better and think more positively which. Serotonin is produced when an individual is in a situation where he/she is in comfortable environment. Sometime it just doesn't workWhat does this mean?

Training to improve teamwork

As in a 2008 review, "team training promotes teamwork and enhances team performance". In specific, an analysis of several published and unpublished studies concluded that team training is "useful for improving cognitive outcomes, affective outcomes, teamwork processes, and performance outcomes.

Benefits

Problems solving: A single brain can’t bounce different ideas off of each other. Each team member has a responsibility to contribute equally and offer their unique perspective on a problem to arrive at the best possible solution. Teamwork can lead to better decisions, products, or services. The quality of teamwork may be measured by analyzing the following six components of collaboration among team members: communication, coordination, balance of member contributions, mutual support, effort, and cohesion. In one study, teamwork quality as measured in this manner correlated with team performance in the areas of effectiveness (i.e., producing high quality work) and efficiency (i.e., meeting schedules and budgets). A recent analysis also found a relationship between teamwork and team effectiveness.

Healthy competition: A healthy competition in groups can be used to motivate individuals and help the team excel.

Developing relationships: A team that continues to work together will eventually develop an increased level of bonding. This can help people avoid unnecessary conflicts since they have become well acquainted with each other through team work. Team members’ ratings of their satisfaction with a team is correlated with the level of teamwork processes present.

Everyone has unique qualities: Every team member can offer their unique knowledge and ability to help improve other team members. Through teamwork the sharing of these qualities will allow team members to be more productive in the future.

Attitude: Daniel Katz classified attitudes into four different groups based on their functions

Utilitarian: provides us with general approach or avoidance tendencies

Knowledge: help people organize and interpret new information

Ego-defensive: attitudes can help people protect their self-esteem

Value-expressive: used to express central values or beliefs

Utilitarian People adopt attitudes that are rewarding and that help them avoid punishment. In other words any attitude that is adopted in a person's own self-interest is considered to serve a utilitarian function. Consider you have a condo, people with condos pay property taxes, and as a result you don't want to pay more taxes. If those factors lead to your attitude that " Increases in property taxes are bad" you attitude is serving a utilitarian function.

Knowledge People need to maintain an organized, meaningful, and stable view of the world. That being said important values and general principles can provide a framework for our knowledge. Attitudes achieve this goal by making things fit together and make sense. Example:

I believe that I am a good person.

I believe that good things happen to good people.

Something bad happens to Bob.

So I believe Bob must not be a good person.

Ego-Defensive This function involves psychoanalytic principles where people use defense mechanisms to protect themselves from psychological harm. Mechanisms include:

Denial

Repression

Projection

Rationalization

The ego-defensive notion correlates nicely with Downward Comparison Theory which holds the view that derogating a less fortunate other increases our own subjective well-being. We are more likely to use the ego-defensive function when we suffer a frustration or misfortune.

Value-Expressive

Serves to express one's central values and self-concept.

Central values tend to establish our identity and gain us social approval thereby showing us who we are, and what we stand for.

Safety Banners for Winter Safety and Cold Stress

CLICK HERE for our Winter and Cold Stress Safety Banners

CLICK HERE for our NEW safety store, Safety Banners USA (safetybannersUSA.com)There are three major safety hazards during the winter season, they are slipping and falling on ice, frostbite, and hypothermia.  All three can be dangerous for your safety and with the right positive message a safety banner can help increase the awareness of these three issues and that can only help to lower accidents and injuries. 

1. 1. Slipping and falling on ice prevention:

Everyone knows that ice is slippery, especially if you live in a cold weather are where the snow can build up easily and quickly.  What we don’t always know is where the ice is.  Looking ahead of where you walk and spotting the ice before you take a step onto the slippery surface is by far the best preventative measure that you can take action on with out any help from anyone else.  Of course, it is important to use a melting agent such as salt to keep the walkways from freezing but ice can still form on the ground if the temperature is low enough.  A safety banner with t slogans such as “Walk safely please when walkways freeze.”, or “Take it slow in the ice and snow.” As a reminder that the area can be dangerous even if you are just walking. 

2. 2. Frostbite prevention:

There are several symptoms to watch out for preventing frostbite.  The first signs of frostbite are cold skin, a pons and needle or prickling feeling under the skin and numbness.  Mild frostbite will irritate the skin, leaving a red, cold feeling then progressing to numbness.  As soon as you notice any of these symptoms get to a heated place and begin to warm yourself up.  If the frost bite progresses you will begin to have skin discolorations of white, yellow, and grey.  Blisters will begin to form, and your skin may feel warm again.  If this happens you will need to seek medical attention immediately to repair the damages caused by the cold.  The last stage is by far the worst, your skin will turn black, and necrosis will begin to set I, often when this stage is reached amputation may be the only option for recovery, so please stay warm.  A safety banner with all the symptoms and stages of frostbite to educate everyone is a perfect way to bring up awareness and prevention.  If they can read the information every day on a safety banner, then they will have no excuses.

3. 3. Hypothermia prevention:

We often think of hypothermia as something that happens if you fall into a cold or frozen body of water.  The truth is hypothermia is caused when the temperature of the body drops below 95 degrees for a prolonged period of time. The 5 signs of hypothermia are shivering, exhaustion, clumsiness, memory loss, slurred speech, and drowsiness.  The only way to prevent hypothermia is to wear the proper attire to keep you warm enough without sweating.  Wearing a knit cap or hat will help to retain up to 70% of your bodies heat.  If you are working outside for long periods of time in the cold winter clothing and jackets serve more as personal protective equipment and should be seen that way.  Safety banners are great reminders for anyone who will be working in the cold to use the proper winter clothing and to stay warm if needed.

Prevention of winter injuries and accidents is only possible if everyone is aware of all the risks, symptoms and correct measures needed for safety and a safety banner is one of the easiest ways to increase education and awareness.
