Above the surface tangible causes, eg. systems, processes, structures

Causes Of Injuries
Most injuries are caused by unsafe acts and unsafe behaviors not unsafe conditions and equipment.
4% Unsafe Conditions

This is typical for all industries

96% Unsafe Acts

What is behavioural Safety?

It is a programme based on the principles of behavioural psychology, also known as behaviour modification, (BBS) is a technique for modifying behaviour of workers to make them work safely.

Uses behaviours as performance measure

Removes barriers and motivates safe behaviour

Behavior is what a person DOES to be safe or put themselves at-risk

Behavior is objective, observable, and measurable.

Behavioral Change
Requires an Understanding of the ABC Model

Activators

Behavior
Motivate

Consequences

The ABC Model Explains Why People Speed

Activators
Guide or direct the Behavior(s) Open Speed limit Sports Police signs Emergency road car car No Late Sunny cops Drivers day Others are speeding education Speeding Wreck Personal injury Fun!

Behavior Consequences
Motivate the future occurrence of the Behavior(s)

Ticket

Waste gas

Save time

Property damage

Wear & tear

Consequences Influence Behviours

The 6 Pillars of Behavioural Based Safety

Facilitate, Support and Act upon recommendations Necessary to maintain involvement and support by employees and Management alike. Goal setting is necessary for continual improvement

Employee owned and run process

Ow Inv nersh olv ip em & ent

Management Commitment

All members of the organisation are involved. Lack of awareness leads to lack of collaboration

BBS
Measurement
Basic to know progress. Continuously measuring the percentage of safe behaviours.

BBS is all about identifying the rootcauses of unsafe behaviours in order to correct them effectively
