In this article, the second in a series of three on teamwork, I want to describe the functions of seven different teams that you can set up within an organization to capitalize on the injury-prevention potential of behavior-based safety.
Although each one has a unique purpose and completes certain tasks independent of other teams, remember that no team operates in isolation. Each depends on the output of other teams to maximize the benefits of behavior-based safety. As W. E. Deming taught us, teams need to work together to optimize the system.
