Dear all,
Nice to here your comments.......
According to my view , Yes i feel SP should be of Influencing nature.
for the people to get influnced he/she shuold be knowledegable in his field, he should have thorough knowledge of process of his plant so that people cant befool him, he should be polite where required and strict where required.
he should know how the person infront of him will understand, what measures he should adopt, he should councel, traine, explain the hazards, & ill effects of unsafe jobs, he should counsel the site incharge or its spervisior,or where to hit. who is the right person or who is getting the job done unsafely, fulfill the commitment, make them realish that it is for them only...
If u have this much command than definately u will be able to Influence..
Believe me, i go on site round my mere stare will make them realise that they are doing things wrong or something wrong (unsafe practice) is going on. they themself stop the work and correct the mistake.
as Mr. Gopinadhan Pillai said, Yes we should know the process throughly so that we can advice them what really is possible or we can take advice from them tooo what could be done...coz giving suggesdtion is very easy.
i had also moved from process to HSE so i take the examples of what the people really do in field ....
looking forward for more views
