LO 2. Undertake irrigation work as directed
(TLE_AFAC9-12IW-IIIf-j-2)
2.3. Carry out in a positive and professional manner the interactions with
other staff and customers as specified in the employee manual
2.4. Observe handling and disposal practices of materials for irrigation work,
following engineering and enterprise policy and procedures
II. Background Information for Learners
Positive interactions in the workplace have been shown to improve job
satisfaction and positively influence staff turnover as employees who
experience support from colleagues are more likely to remain in an
organization long term (Hodson, 2014; Moynihan and Pandey, 2008).
A workplace has a big role in many people’s lives. Average number of
persons spending more time at work than any other daily activities, it is
important that workers within organization feel connected, comfortable, and
supported by co-workers, subordinates, and leaders. Indeed, the primary
contributor to workplace stressor is the psychosocial hazards related to the
culture within organization, such as poor interpersonal relations and lack of
policies and practices related to respect for workers (Stoewen, 2016). Prolong
exposure to these psychosocial hazards will increased psychiatric and
physiological health problems, positive social relationships among employees
are how work gets done.

Benefits of Social Interaction at Work

1. Social interaction is essential in the well-being of every person, which in
turn has a positive impact on workers engagement. Organizations with
 higher levels of engagement indicate lower business costs, improved
performance output, minimize absences of workers, and less safety
incidents (Gallup, 2015).
2. Social interaction can lead to sharing of knowledge and productivity from
trained to untrained workers.
3. Employees who are satisfied and comfortable with the quality of their
workers relationships are more attached to the organization.
4. A lack of social interaction in the workplace can have potentially negative
consequences in relation to social support. Studies shown that sense of
isolation because of lack of social support can result to cardiovascular
disease, increased risk of depression and shorten lifespan (Holt-Lunstad
et al., 2015; Cacioppo et al., 2011; and Mushtaq et al., 2014).
5. Strong ‘within-group’ ties with co-workers provide opportunities to
facilitate innovative thinking.
6. Social interactions in the workplace have been found to increase
self-reported positive feelings at the end of the day.
7. Repeated positive social interactions can result to greater shared
experiences and the gradual development of more trusting relationships.
8. The information collated through social interaction can help a team
collectively improve its performance and the precision of its estimates
(Jayles et al., 2017).
9. Social interaction and positive relationships are important for various
attitudinal, well-being, and performance-related outcomes. Basford and
Offermann (2012) found that employees in both low and high levels of
motivation when interpersonal relationships with co-workers were good.
How to Foster Employee Interaction in the Workplace
According to the Society for Human Resource Management’s 2016
Employee Job Satisfaction and Employee Report (SHRM, 2016), relationships
with co-workers was deemed the number one contributor to employee
engagement, with 77% of respondents listing workplace connections as a
priority.
Therefore, leaders and managers are responsible to find ways to
promote positive relationship in the workplace. In doing so, organizations are
better able to adopt a more relationship-centric outlook wherein the fostering
of positive employee interactions becomes a goal.
In general, maximizing engagement levels can be boiled down to two
key concepts: the removal of barriers between workers that currently
hindrance the social interactions in the workplace, and creating opportunities
for employees to engage or interact with each other. These outcomes can be
achieved in several ways, and while not all approaches are suitable for all
organization types, the concepts hold true.
Effectively Mediate Conflicts
 Both employees and employers require meaningful relationships with
each other’s in the workplace, and yet these needs may be impeded by
counterproductive and destructive workplace practices (Bolden and Gosling,
2006).
Organizational leaders should make attempts to minimize negative
interactions between employees by proactive mediating and resolving conflicts
as early as possible and building a culture of open communication that
fosters trust and relationship building.
Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and
Accomplishments (PERMA Model)
PERMA model was designed by American Psychologist and educator
Martin Seligman that represents the five core elements of happiness and
well-being. PERMA model highlights these five elements which business
leaders can adopt to promote a positive culture that encourages belongings.
The five elements of PERMA model:
1. Positive emotions
2. Engagement
3. Positive relationships
4. Meaning
5. Achievements/ Accomplishment

Waste Materials Management

Waste management is the collection, transport, processing, recycling or
disposal and monitoring of waste materials. There are three steps necessary to
properly manage waste: identify wastes, evaluate wastes, and manage wastes.
Methods of Disposal
Landfills
The most popular or traditional method of disposing waste is throwing in
the landfills. This process of waste disposal focuses attention on burying
waste in the land.
This method is becoming less these days although, thanks to the lack of
space available and the strong presence of methane and other landfill gases,
both of which can cause numerous contamination problems. Landfills give rise
to air and water pollution which severely affects the environment and can
prove fatal to the lives of humans and animals. Many areas are reconsidering
the use of landfills.
Incineration/ Combustion
Incineration or combustion is a disposal method in which solid wastes are burned
at high temperatures to convert them into residue and gaseous products. The biggest
 advantage of this type of method is that it can reduce the volume of solid waste to 20 to
30 percent of the original volume, decreases the space they take up and reduce the stress
on landfills. This process is also known as thermal treatment where solid waste materials
are converted by incinerators into heat, gas, steam, and ash.

Recycling
Recycling is the process of converting waste products into new ones to prevent
energy usage and consumption of fresh raw materials. Recycling is the third component
of Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle waste hierarchy.

Plasma gasification
Plasma gasification is another form of waste management. Plasma is a primarily
an electrically charged or a highly ionized gas. Lighting is one type of plasma which
produces temperatures that exceed 12,600 °F. With this method of waste disposal, a vessel
uses characteristic plasma torches operating at +10,000 °F which is creating a gasification
zone till 3,000 °F for the conversion of solid or liquid wastes into a syngas.

Composting
Composting is an easy and natural bio-degradation process that takes organic
wastes i.e., remains of plants and garden and kitchen waste and turns into nutrient
rich food for your plants. Composting, normally used for organic farming, occurs by
allowing organic materials to sit in one place for months until microbes decompose it.
Composting is one of the best methods of waste disposal as it can turn unsafe organic
products into safe compost.
