Reducing energy waste by improved communications

Abstract: Engineers are often notoriously poor communicators! Some do not recognise that brief yet comprehensive, clear, accurate and relevant instructions and reports, in plain English, can lead to a more effective use of time, reduced duplication of effort, fewer accidents, improved industrial relations and so greater probabilities of success. Even those who do sometimes fail to accept their own communication weaknesses. Thus some remedial techniques are outlined.
