Underlying Causes Of Incidents

Causes Of Injuries

• Most injuries are caused by unsafe acts and unsafe behaviors not unsafe conditions and equipment.

• This is typical for all industries

Advantages of

Behavioural Measurement

What is behavioural Safety?

• Uses behaviours as performance measure

• Removes barriers and motivates safe behaviour

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.

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

Behavior is objective, observable, and measurable.

All members of the organisation are

involved. Lack of awareness leads to

lack of collaboration

Basic to know progress. Continuously measuring

the percentage of safe behaviours.

BBS is all about identifying the root-

causes of unsafe behaviours in order to

correct them effectively

Employee owned and run process

Necessary to maintain involvement and support

by employees and Management alike.

Goal setting is necessary for continual improvement

Value Added

Employee involvement

• Reducing injuries/incidents

• Intervention/analysis/solutions

• Taking ownership/responsibility

• Actively caring

• Learning the ABC principles (Activators, Behaviors, Consequences)

Value Added

• Provides behavior data –facts - that goes beyond common sense

• Builds positive attitudes and positive reinforcement

• Promotes coaching/education/teamwork

• Shifts thinking from priority to value

• Working safely without injuries

• Supports project schedules and budgets
