Effective Activators
Activators must be • Specific• Used sparingly• Clear• Vary• Imply immediate consequences
Actively Caring Increases Effectiveness

Activators are NOT Enough
Activators
Motivation
Behavior
• The consequences that motivate behavior are:• Certain to happen• Happen immediately• Have significant impact
• Least effective consequences are:• Uncertain- injury or discipline do not occur every time
• Delayed- loss of hearing happens over time so the consequence of not wearing ear plugs is delayed
• Insignificant
Consequences that Motivate
Using the ABC Model
• Identify the consequences that encourage and discourage the at-risk work practices
• Identify the activators
• Consider changing and/or modifying both the consequences and/or the activators to create an unconsciously competent work practice
Positive VS. NegativeConsequences
• What works best?• Positive consequences• Negative consequences
• How does each effect the employee?

Penny Exercise
The Penny exercise is designed to demonstrate the effectiveness of different types of feedback. It involves a blindfolded volunteer tossing pennies into a box. In most cases constructive feedback and encouragement produces better results during the exercise than no feedback or negative non-constructive feedback.
Penny Exercise
Directions:1. Volunteer #1: say nothing as she/he tosses the
pennies into the box.
2. Volunteer #2: respond negatively when she/he misses, say nothing when she/he gets the pennies into the box.
3. Volunteer #3: praise, give encouragement, hints as she/he tosses pennies.
Feedback Influences Work Practices
• Reinforcing feedback increases desired work practices
• Corrective feedback decreases undesirable work practices
Functions of Feedback
• Provides needed information
• Provides social support:• co-worker support and acceptance• manager/supervisor approval
Guidelines for Receiving Feedback
• Be open and receptive• Think BEFORE you react• Be objective/not defensive• Avoid taking a position• Ask for specifics• Actively LISTEN• Work together on potential solutions• Reach an agreement• Say thank you

Actively Caring and the Safety Triangle

PersonSharing skills and knowledge
with each other.Listening, helping
in a crisis, recognizingteam member contributions.
BehaviorObserving co-workers,
giving feedback, modeling behavior.
1EnvironmentMaking sure needed equipment
is available.Posting warning signs,
housekeeping, cleaning other’s work
area.
Often neglected in traditional safety approaches. Little or no feedback on or encouragement of safe behavior.
Key Points of TSC
• Creating a Total Safety Culture requires:• Safety is held as a value by all employees. A value
is a belief that does not change with the situation
• Each employee feels a sense of responsibility for the safety of their co-worker as well as themselves
• Each employee performs “Actively Caring”• Each employee is willing and able to “go beyond
the call of duty” for others
What’s Next?
• What do employees need to do to support the shift to a Total Safety Culture?
