In this Behaviour Based Safety PPT, we have covered an overview of BBS that can be used for improving individual understanding to conducting internal training programs to build a safety culture.
The History:
The early roots of BBS can be found during 1930s in the work of behaviourist B.F. Skinner, who conducted research on operant conditioning. Skinner’s studies on behaviour reinforcement and modification laid the foundation for the application of behaviour based principles in various fields, including safety.
During the same time, H. W. Heinrich reviewed 12,000 insurance company accident claims and 63,000 injury and illness records submitted by plant owners in order to identify the most common causes of accidents.
Heinrich concluded that 88% of these industrial accidents were the result of unsafe acts by people and, in order to minimise accidents, focus must be on changing behaviour.
In that same period, the National Safety Council (NSC), US performed a similar study with comparable results; 87% of industrial accidents were caused by unsafe acts.
As explained by behaviour psychologists, all behaviours are a function of the environment in which the behaviour occurs. Therefore, unsafe behaviour is directly related to the physical environment, the social environment, and the workers experience within these environments.
Behaviour Based Safety (BBS) is a proactive approach to workplace safety that focuses on analysing and modifying employee behaviour to prevent accidents and injuries.
Seven Key Principles of BBS:
The successful applications of BBS generally adhere to the seven key principles described below. Each principle is broad enough to include a variety of practical operations, but narrow enough to instruct the development of cost-effective interventions for managing the human dynamics of occupational risk.
- Focus Intervention On Observable Behaviour
- Look For External Factors To Understand And Improve Behaviour
- Direct With Activators And Motivate With Consequences
- Focus On Positive Consequences To Motivate Behaviour
- Apply The Scientific Method To Improve Intervention
- Use Theory To Integrate Information, Not To Limit Possibilities
- Design Interventions With Consideration Of Internal Feelings And Attitudes
Creating Safety Culture
By understanding the influence of human actions on safety performance, organisations can create a culture of safety where employees are empowered to make informed decisions.
BBS emphasises observation, feedback, and intervention to identify and address potential hazards related to unsafe acts before incidents occur.
