work group?• Do you feel your message is heard?• Are you frustrated by communication/or is it

working great• Are there issues you believe have been swept

under the rug/ignored?

April Homework

Walk the Talk-(Without identifying workers)• Are workers always able to realistically follow

safety procedures?• Are there barriers that get in the way?• Is the reality of getting the work done creating

situations where workers feel they have to take short cuts?
