Consultivo delivers end-to-end Behaviour Based Safety solutions that transform safety performance through observation, feedback, and leadership engagement.
Our proven methodology helps organisations across sectors embed safe habits and build a resilient health and safety culture.
What is Behaviour Based Safety (BBS)?
Behaviour Based Safety is a proactive approach to preventing workplace incidents by observing, analysing, and reinforcing safe behaviours. It focuses on human actions rather than conditions, helping organisations build a positive safety culture where employees take ownership of safety through observation, feedback, and continuous improvement.
BBS Implementation in Action
BBS implementation turns behavioural insights into daily practice. It involves systematic observation, peer feedback, and data-driven interventions—helping organisations embed safe habits, strengthen leadership engagement, and sustain a proactive behaviour-based safety culture across all levels of the workplace.

Why BBS Is Critical to Your Safety Culture
A strong safety culture is built on consistent, safe actions.
Behaviour-based safety makes your safety values real and visible on the ground – every day.
Behaviour-Based Safety (BBS) is the practical system that drives visible and measurable culture change.
The Culture–Behaviour Connection
Your safety culture is the shared belief system – the why.
BBS is the structured process – the how – that reinforces those beliefs through daily actions.
A strong health and safety culture ensures an effective BBS system, and a well-run BBS program further strengthens your overall culture.
The Proactive Advantage
BBS shifts focus from lagging indicators (accidents, injuries) to leading indicators (safe and at-risk actions).
It helps teams act early, based on real-time behavioural data from the workplace.
Driving Employee Ownership
Our approach to behavioural safety is not a rule-based checklist.
It empowers people to observe, communicate, and take ownership of safety.
Through peer-to-peer feedback, employees build accountability and reinforce a shared commitment to safe behaviour.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Questions? We have answers.
How do you implement Behaviour-Based Safety (BBS) in the workplace?
BBS implementation begins with identifying critical safe and at-risk behaviours through a detailed BBS audit or safety culture survey.
Consultivo’s experts then design customised observation and feedback systems, conduct behaviour-based safety training (BBS training), and analyse data to guide targeted interventions.
This structured approach helps embed BBS practices into daily operations, building a positive safety culture and measurable long-term improvement in performance.
What is the difference between safety culture and Behaviour-Based Safety (BBS)?
Safety culture represents the shared values, attitudes, and beliefs that shape how people think about health and safety at work — it’s the “why” behind safe behaviour.
Behaviour-Based Safety (BBS) is the “how” — a structured process that transforms those beliefs into daily safe actions through observation, feedback, and positive reinforcement.
Together, a strong safety culture and an effective BBS implementation create a sustainable safe work culture where safety becomes a core organisational value.
What is a safety culture and why is it important in the workplace?
A safety culture is the shared values, beliefs, and behaviours that shape how people think and act about health and safety at work.
A strong health and safety culture helps prevent incidents, improves morale, and drives operational excellence. It’s the foundation for building a truly safe work culture where everyone takes ownership of their own and others’ safety.
How does Consultivo assess and improve an organisation’s safety culture?
Consultivo measures the strength of your H&S culture through tools like the safety culture survey, safety perception survey, and BBS survey.
These assessments identify cultural gaps and improvement opportunities across teams, sites, and leadership levels.
Based on the results, Consultivo designs targeted interventions using its proprietary safety culture framework and safety culture maturity model to transform your organisation into a positive safety culture.
How does Behaviour-Based Safety (BBS) support a strong safety culture?
Behaviour-based safety training (BBS training) is a key element of a sustainable safety culture framework.
It focuses on observing, analysing, and reinforcing safe behaviours at the workplace.
By empowering employees to give and receive constructive feedback, BBS in safety strengthens behavioural consistency and builds a proactive, positive safety culture that goes beyond compliance.
What role does leadership play in building a positive safety culture?
Leadership sets the tone for a robust health and safety culture.
Consultivo’s Safety Leadership Training and Safety Leadership Courses help managers demonstrate visible commitment, communicate expectations, and influence safe behaviours.
When leaders champion safety as a core value, it accelerates cultural maturity and strengthens trust across all levels of the organisation.
