Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 9

Abstract

With the ongoing pressure on save production it is important to change the approach to save production. With the more focus and outside pressures on safety in Mines; it is important to find the correct actions to ensure safe production. Safety and production because both requires energy to realize. The inputs and actions for safety and production are the same, only the outputs are different. The results for safety and production must be analysed and if it is required made the necessary changes for improvement, re-write rules and re-train the affected employees and that become the new input strategy. When there are no action there will be no injuries or production. Therefore the action is where the challenges are and that must be addressed. To ensure that results can be achieved, it is important that the correct inputs are addressed in the process. The focus on the right people for the right tasks will ensure motivated, happy people and good results. People are complicated and it is important to keep him motivated and this can be achieved by treat them as human beings. In the current mining operations hierarchy the Manger is responsible for everything and the employees respond to orders from the Manager. Supportive leadership means that the roles, responsibilities, authority and the decision-making function are delegated to the responsible person of that specific activity in a job. The roles between the Manager and employees change because the employees will become responsible for the activities and management role changes to responsive. The leaders will assist the responsible person to overcome the barrier for not achieving safe production by supporting them, thus the leader focus on its area of responsibility and the employees on there area of responsibility. The area of responsibilities for leaders and employees is not the same and that happened in the past that the area of responsibilities were not well defined and lead to grey areas, the surprise element in incident investigations. The leader is responsible for the strategy of the company and the employee for the implementation of the strategy with the leader's support. This leadership style will then ensure that the employees are responsible for safe production and management is responsive to safe production.
