The supervisor emphasis on roles and responsibilities rather than health and safety management
system. Here are some particular facts showing how the supervisor fell short of. These are:
1. Communication Delay
In one such scenario, the supervisor receives a call from the contractor upon their arrival and the
urgency for repair work on the faulty conveyor. The supervisor, however, doesn’t communicate properly
and misses detail and fails to address rest of the crew of the details including the contractor arrival.
There exists an atmosphere of lack of communication and lack of awareness about the repair work.
The supervisor while allocating distribution points to the ALAs, however, assigned the delegated
responsibilities to worker C, not with a perfunctory manner to learn if the worker C communicated all
the relevant information and details to all ALAs. Moreover, the supervisor also failed to rightly allocated
task to worker B. Worker B was assigned distribution point for large flight ignoring the safety implications
and work-burden associated with the given task.
Worker B under the mounting workload couldn’t sustain for longer time as the worker was assigned
large flight alone for much larger time. The supervisor couldn’t comprehend the gravity of the situation
where the worker B was facing heavy burden and safety negligence due to heavy baggage. Snoring at
worker B demand, the situation exacerbated and the said worker continued working comprising over its
safety and burden.
Carrying the two trucks with haphazard speed as worker F was running out of time, the supervisor didn’t
intervene. While the speed limits are set for a reason, any flagrant violations of the prescribed rules
could result into a deadly accident. The supervisor failed to enforce safety protocols and the subsequent
result could lead to collision with the contractor.
5. Failure to Response Correctly to Accident
In the aftermath of the accident, the supervisor, however, could not provide the appropriate immediate
assistance. The prompt and immediate steps involve are giving medical aid to injured and securing the
accident vicinity.
When finally the contractor and supervisor made interaction, the supervisor guided the contractor but
briefly without going into details left the contractor with half insight of the fault. And when the
contractor needed any assistance, they doomed to delay in locating the supervisor and such dismal
action further infuriated the potential delay in emergency handling.
