ABSTRACT

Effective communications is a lot more complex than most think it is. In fact, most individuals feel that they do a good job of communicating when in actuality, most do a rather ineffective job of communicating safety and health in the workplace. Sometimes it is the way the message is communicated. The timing of messages is often too late, and in many cases, messages are never delivered at all. No matter how hard someone tries, someone else is going to misinterpret the message, read something into it other than what was meant, or only focus on the part he/she perceives to be most useful to him/her.
