Behavioral safety for culture change
- Behavior Based Safety (BBS) is an effective and efficient way of influencing workers behavior with respect to workplace safety, regularly resulting in substantial reductions of workplace accident rates. This has been documented in thousands of companies worldwide and in several hundred studies. However, Behavior Based Safety isn’t only about changing overt behavior like holding to a handrail and putting on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). With its integral understanding of behavior as everything a person does, thinks, feels etc., Behavior Based Safety is also changing the so-called safety culture towards a more positive, proactive, and humane environment for all employees.
