Are you talking about any specific industry or just the workplace in general?

Read up on crane control and load handling ... some good const. site communication going on there......

Sorry, just read again and you said it`s a construction site

i don't know if you can read online but the book "organisational behaviour" by mullins might help

Simples.
A gives the orders, B,C and D carry out the orders, E makes the tea, F goes to fetch the biscuits plus two copies of the Sun and the Daily Sport. A,B,C D, E, and F all sit round together drinking tea, munching biscuits, read the Sun and ogle the massive boob jobs in the Daily Sport. Site manager comes round asking what the f**k is going on. A,B,C,D,E and F rinse out cups, grab trowels and spread plaster/cement here, there and everywhere. Thursday night, foreman comes round with pay packets. A,B,C D, E, and F go to the pub, get pissed. job done and everbody happy!

>can anyone suggest some tips

One tip that I always follow.

As you get up to leave a train, or a bus, a taxi, or a restaurant, or any seat you have been sitting on for a while, glance behind you and check you have left nothing behind.

I started doing this a few years ago and now do it without thinking.
