    Behavior Based Safety

    Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) uses positive reinforcement to change unsafe behaviors and reinforce safe behaviors. It aims to intervene to reinforce safe behavior or change unsafe behavior, recognize both safe and at-risk behavior, and is not fault-finding. Benefits include acting as a constant reminder of workplace safety and focusing attention on both safe and at-risk behaviors. BBS defines behavior as "the way people act" and uses management procedures, facilities, and an understanding of human characteristics and behavior to encourage safe behaviors through interventions and behavior-based safety observations.

    What is Behavior-Based Safety (BBS)

    Basically, BBS is an established method of


    using positive reinforcement to change unsafe
    individual behaviors and reinforce safe
    Behaviors.
    Aims and Benefits of BBS
    Aims
    • to Intervene to reinforce safe behavior or change
    unsafe behavior or conditions
    • to recognizing both safe and at-risk behavior
    • not fault finding – it is a way to take care of others
    Benefits
    • a constant reminder of workplace safety
    • were incident rates at Infineum locations where
    BBSO participation is high
    • the focus of attention and recognition on both safe
    and at-risk behaviors
    WHAT IS BEHAVIOR
    There are numerous definitions for “behavior”
    • For use in Behavioral Based Safety, we define
    behavior

    “The Way People Act”


    Natural Laws of Behavior

    • If the SAFE way is the EASY way,


    then we will behave SAFELY
    • If we really understand the
    consequence of our actions it will lead
    to SAFE behavior
    Behavior Based Safety
    Management
    (Procedures,
    risk
    assessment,
    incident
    investigation
    Facilities training, etc.)

    (Pumps, control
    systems, panels,
    valves, cranes, Human
    etc.)
    (Human characteristics
    and behavior)
    Observable and Underlying behavior
    • Observable Behavior is associated with people
    doing physical activities in the plant, control rooms
    and offices etc.
    • Underlying Behavior is related to conditions and
    work processes that may be “root Causes” of
    observable behavior .
    Behavior Strategies
    1. Make it rewarding -Create more Positive
    Consequences for people to behave safely
    2. Make it easier -Remove the Negative Consequences
    for the desired Behavior
    3. Make it clear -Make sure people understand the
    potential consequences of their behavior
    4. Rules / Barriers -Make Undesired Behavior difficult
    or unattractive
    Why should we take a behaviour
    based approach to safety?
    • We should all go home every day in at least as
    good a condition as we arrived at work
    • In behaviour based safety, the changes we build
    and implement to encourage good safety
    behaviours are called interventions
    • In behaviour based safety, the changes we build
    and implement to encourage good safety
    behaviours are called interventions
    What is a Behavior Based Safety Observation?
    A behavior based safety observation (BBSO) is
    a safety observation related to the behavior of an
    Infineum colleague or contractor where the
    observation:-

    • is related to safe or unsafe behavior (not


    unsafe conditions or facilities)
    • provides immediate feedback to the colleague
    or contractor
    • is documented
