6. SO WHAT IS BEHAVIOUR BASED SAFETY(BBS)?
Behavioural safety is the name given to a
number of types of programmes that aim to
improve safety by changing the behaviour
of workers.
Behavior Based Safety is a program
designed to influence employee actions
toward safer outcomes, ideally by
preventing an accident or injury before it
occurs. Implementing a behavior based safety
program is the most comprehensive way for
companies to promote safety, eliminate
hazards and prevent injuries.
