Behaviour Based Safety In An Injury-Free Culture

Introduction

Factors for occupational accidents can be technical, organisational or behavioural. The latter one is the factor paving the way for many pre-existing factors to come together and by this the final common pathway for almost all accidents. A behaviour-based safety (BBS) program therefore can be a promising tool to reduce accident rates. However, most at-risk behaviours are supported by the culture and system of a site/company. Hence without integrating a BBS program into an active and living safety culture where all level of employees fulfil their roles and responsibilities, a BBS program can’t deliver the results which are expected and possible. Key success factor for a higher level of occupational health and safety is to understand human behaviour and human actions, how to remove barriers of safe behaviour and how to motivate and activate people to strive towards safe behaviour.
