WHAT IS BEHAVIOR-BASED SAFETY?
Behavior Based Safety (BBS) is a
process that informs management
and employees of the overall safety
of the workplace. BBS is intended
to focus workers' attention on their
own and their peers' daily safety
behavior. The goal of BBS program
is to improve the employee safety
of the organization.
1a
THE ABC OF BBS PROGRAM
ANTECEDENT Cause of certain behaviour
BEHAVIOR What you see a person do
CONSEQUENCE Outcome of a behaviour
BASIC ELEMENTS OF BBS
Identify / define targeted safe behavior
Observe behavior
Measure process / activities
Deliver feedback
Deliver positive consequences
Analyse variance / take actions
Improve process continuously
FOCUS:
Focuses on at-risk behaviors that can lead to injury
Focuses on safe behaviors that can contribute to
injury prevention
BBS is an injury prevention process
1b
THE INJURY PYRAMID
Reactive
Proactive
IMPLEMENTATION PHASES OF BBS
Phase 1: Establish a Need for Change
Phase 2: Create a Plan of Action
Phase 3 - Educate and train employees
about the principles, tools, and
implementation strategies
Phase 4 - monitor the progress

FIVE STEPS TO A SUCCESSFUL SAFETY OBSERVATION
Announce:
Watch
Ask
Reinforce
Express concern
7a
The first step in the process is to let the person you intend to observe know you are
there. This initial contact sets the tone for the observation and resulting discussion.
After the individual is aware, you should spend your designated time watching the job
task. The purpose of observations should be to identify if workers can perform the task
safely and proactively identify concerns that might increase the chances of an injury.
If you see a safe precaution being taken, or an exposure to risk, ask the most
appropriate questions: Why did you do it that way? Is that the way you always do it? Do
you feel safe doing it that way? Is there a safer way to do it? Were you trained to do it
that way?
Observations are an opportunity to specifically point out the positive things a person
is doing for his own safety. Emphasis should be placed on reinforcing safe
behaviour.
When risk is identified during an observation, the language chosen to provide
feedback is critical. Expressing concern is a preferred approach over
stating someone is "at risk" and "unsafe."
GOAL OF BBS
ZERO INJURY
BBS IS THE PATH TO REACH THE GOAL

SUMMARY
BEHAVIOR-BASED SAFETY
Focuses on at-risk behaviors that can lead to injury
Focuses on safe behaviors that can contribute to injury
prevention
Is an injury prevention process
BBS is not a punitive measure.
