15. Squares: Squares are the workers.  They are left-brained and highly task oriented.  They are analytical, detail oriented, linear, logical, and sequential.  They seek uniformity, balance, organization and accuracy.

16. Rectangles: Rectangles are more flexible than squares, not as precise.  They are also left-brained and well grounded as represented by the broad base of the rectangle.  Rectangles are team players, consensus oriented, and co-operative.  Most of all they strive for fairness.

17. Triangles: Triangles are mid-left brained.  Highly task oriented.  They always want to "get to the point".  They are the movers and shakers of the world. They are adapt at doing several tasks at once.  They are interested in power and moving up.  The motto of the triangle is "ready, fire, aim".

18. Circles: Circles are right-brained, smooth and accommodating.  They are adapters, well rounded and social.  Circles are people oriented.  They dislike details but love to talk.

19. Sine-waves: The sine-wave is right-brained, open-minded, flexible and free thinking.  Sine-waves are non-directive.  They like change and absolutely hate details.  They are pictorial people.  They can be heard saying "whatever it takes".  Sine-waves are intuitive, non-linear concept people.  The motto of the sine-wave is "fake it till you make it".

20. Test Your Awareness First Read the Sentence Enclosed In The Box FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE- SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF- IC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF MANY YEARS. Now count the F’s in the sentence. Count them only Once and do not go back and count them again.

21. Case Studies Johnny Puffer is a forklift driver at your facility. He is a known smoker. There is a company rule of no smoking in the plant because of the potential for fires. You notice cigarette butts on the floor in the area that Johnny is responsible for, though you have never actually seen him smoking. What would you do?

22. The facility has just instituted a policy of no jewelry because of the potential for injuries. One day after the rule has taken affect you notice Bob Diamond with his wedding ring on. You approach Bob to discuss the rule with him and he barks back “I have been married for 35 years and this ring is a symbol of my love. I will not take it off. We could always wear our rings in the past, why do I have to take it off now! My job is still the same.” Bob has been an excellent employee for the past 22 years. What would you do?

23. Case Studies • Why would someone violate a safety rule or commit an unsafe act?

24. Case Studies Bob Slavin was given a work order to repair a leak on a water pipe at 2:00 p.m. He found a straight ladder standing in the corner of the shop. He carried the ladder to the “area” indicated on the work order and set up the ladder. He was checking for the origin of the leak which Bob thought was further down the pipe from where the ladder was set. He leaned to get a better look when the ladder kicked out sending Bob to the floor. He suffered a broken arm and bruised hip. What questions would you ask if you were to analyze this case? Develop ?’s that can not be answered with a yes or no.
