machinery and tools, the proper
physical positions and
movements are to be
transferred satisfactorily from
one mind to another, especially
through face-to-face com
munication, it must be assured
that the message is adequately
delivered, received, absorbed,
and retained. The latter concept
of retention for subsequent use
as opposed to mere exposure to
facts is a vital ingredient of
learning.
Two-Way Communication
Since that first well-known
face-to-face encounter in the
original Eden when the snake -
successfully demonstrated the
powers of the art of persuasion,
the value of two-way
interchange (including full
appreciation for the
consequences) have become
more evident to us. Meaningful
conversation includes response
- instantaneous feedback —
something more than simply
asking “do you understand”.
That is. Why is it essentail to
wear goggles when twisting wire
or cutting metal straps? Why is

it essential to heed posted and
verbal warnings to avoid a
slippery floor? Why is it
essential to stop-off machinery
when cleaning gears or
threading rolls? And why is it
essential to seek assistance in
moving a load excessive in
weight for one person? (The
preceding are typical of all the
120 or more serious accidents
that occurred in the company
during the first ten months of
1974).
If our safety program in 1975 is
to be increasingly successful in
preventing human and economic
losses from personal injury and
property damage, the lines of
communication between and
among all levels of our
organization must be opened
early, kept open, and frequently
checked for effectiveness. The
final measure of our overall per
formance will depend directly on
the job we do of selling each
other on the need (1) to be
attentive (to instructions and
spontaneous danger signs). (2)
to exercise the patience in giving
and receiving instructions, and
