Behavior Based Safety (BBS) is a proactive approach that focuses on identifying and encouraging safe behaviors while discouraging unsafe behaviors. It uses positive reinforcement to change individual behaviors that can lead to injuries. The BBS process starts with analyzing risks and identifying "at-risk" behaviors. Observers then provide immediate feedback on behaviors, while root cause analysis is used to improve safety procedures and address the underlying causes of unsafe behaviors. BBS implementation involves creating a team to observe behaviors and measure progress, which is then recognized to encourage safe behaviors and set new safety goals.

Introduction

Activator Behaviour Consequence
 Event or stimulus
that contribute to
risky behaviour
 Ex- Goals, Policies,
Skill/Training, Work
pressure
 Risk taking or
protective behaviour –
Act performed by
individual
 Ex- Wearing or not
wearing PPE, Violating
SOP
 Events that happen as a
result of the behaviour-
Positive/Negative
 Ex- Zero Injury, Reward,
Catastrophic injury,
Disciplinary action
