About
There are a multitude of roles that include “Supervisor” in their title, and the term “supervision” appears throughout position descriptions, work instructions and risk control plans.
But without a clear definition and understanding of planning and executing effective supervision, the practical aspects of this critical activity can be left open to interpretation.
This CPD session posits Supervision as a practical management activity, carried out by a wide spectrum of personnel in mining operations; where a person has direct responsibility and/or accountability for the safety, welfare, productivity, compliance with standards, and output quality of others.
Key principles of operational and safety supervision will be examined, and a new model for the assessment of appropriate levels of supervision for day-to-day tasks and activities will be presented.
These principles will be discussed in a scenario-based workshop format, where participants can discuss their own perspectives and experiences on effective supervision.
Key Takeaways:
- Key skills and practices for effective supervision of workers in diverse mining and quarrying settings.
- Characteristics of effective leadership in the supervisory context.
- Self-reflection and discussion on improved supervision for both us and our people.
