Early in his safety career, Gerald Edgar learned a lesson he has applied for more than three decades: safety requires teamwork. And one of the most crucial relationships that enables a team to work together is the one between safety professionals and supervisors. Supervisors "know the personalities [of their workers] far better than the safety professional does," said Edgar, environmental, health and safety manager at Charles City, IA-based Mitas Tires North America Inc. "So without them, you're doomed to failure-or at least doomed to less than optimal success."
