Behaviour-Based Safety (BBS) Training

Every organisation or company and safety supervisors or managers irrespective of the industry they fall in, are constantly seeking ways to minimize risks or accidents in the cause of operation and improve the company’s safety system and culture. One effective way to achieve this is through the implementation of Behaviour-Based Safety (BBS). 

With investigations been done on accidents over the years, over 80% of accidents were – preventable. In many cases the hazards and behaviours were visible; people would point out that they saw the hazard.

A Behaviour-Based Safety program can help companies or safety personnel get to the core of this problem and prevent a lot of these incidents. 

Behaviour-Based Safety is a method of avoiding human error – which is one of the root causes of accidents and improving safety by observing and analyzing workers’ behaviour while they work. The overall objective of BBS is to promote a strong safety culture in the organization. A strong safety culture means that employees are able to manage safety on their own, identify, understand and gauge risks before doing certain things to lessen the chances of accidents by changing their behaviour.

The Behaviour Based Safety training and certification program is vital and open to those in management or seeking management positions and everyone who works in an organization irrespective of occupation.
