Resolving disagreements

Sometimes it’s a bumpy road

Decision making among team members, or different groups, may not be a smooth process.

Give employees a detailed a view of the process or project, from all decision points, to refer to and share.
Empower employees to understand how their input matters and where it fits into the team efforts.

Finding agreement over direction, process steps and end goals is a multi-pronged effort that requires clear planning and communication.

And that’s smart business!

Don’t struggle on your own

Work with Your Team. Enhance Your Success.

When facing new challenges, seek the expertise of those around you. By working with your team to develop solutions, you harness the power of the unique knowledge and experience each member brings to the table. This creates more opportunity for success than you can accomplish on your own.

Also, be sure to support team members when they ask for your advice. Your team needs your talents as much as you need theirs.

And that’s smart business!

Sun protection

They’re more than a fashion statement.

Always keep a pair of sunglasses in your vehicle. Sun glare can make it difficult to see other vehicles or the roadway and its shoulder, especially during sunrise and sunset. Sunglasses also protect your eyes from ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

Protect your eyes. Wear sunglasses.

And that’s smart safety!

Fire extinguishers

Use the right one at the right time.

Fire extinguishers are labeled according to type of fire they’re designed to put out.

Class A fires consist of ordinary combustibles, such as wood, paper or cloth, and can be put out with water.
Class B fires consist of flammable liquids. Dry-chemical extinguishers are usually used.
Class C fires involve energized electrical equipment. Water can’t be used because it conducts electricity and can deliver a shock. Carbon dioxide and dry-chemical extinguishers are best.
Class D fires involve combustible metals. Special dry-compound powders are used.

Using the wrong type of extinguisher, or using one improperly, could cause additional injuries and property damage. Know the difference.

And that’s smart safety.
