Behavioral Based Safety Training at Workplace

Behavioral-Based Safety (BBS) is a process aimed at reinforcing daily behavior by employees and leaders through safety observations, reducing the risks of accidents in the workplace.

No matter the size of the organization, applying BBS requires a dynamic and innovative team that will assess and implement actions in an effort to continually enhance the occupational safety management system.

The idea is that employees are able to manage safety on their own, identifying, understanding, and gauging risks prior to taking actions to lessen the chance of accidents by changing behaviors. It is fundamental to assure that upper management and leaders are committed, as well as that the frontline team is on board.

It is crucial that everyone participate so that there is alignment with the program’s goals; otherwise, the company’s initiative in creating and maintaining a BBS program will likely fail.

During the early planning stages of the program, a meeting is held by a team of professionals already familiar with behavior-based safety in order to help you with your program and determine measures of success.
