Behavioral SafetyBehavioral Safety
Behavior Based Safety (BBS) focuses on what people do, analyzes why they do it, and then applies a strategy to improve what people do.
To be successful a BBS program must include all employees and requires buy-in and support by everyone.
Behavioral SafetyBehavioral Safety
Behavioral SafetyBehavioral Safety
How BBS works: A site observation is conducted –
looking for safe behaviors and at-risk behaviors.
Feedback is given: Positive feedback first At-risk behaviors last
Behavioral SafetyBehavioral Safety
With at-risk behaviors, we must ask “Why” the employee is putting themselves at risk.
Explain the associated negative impact the at-risk behavior may have.
Behavioral SafetyBehavioral Safety
Behaviors are discussed until the observer and worker agree on suggested recommendations to work more safely.
Behavioral SafetyBehavioral Safety
It is important to understand: Terminology of the work
environment. How to recognize hazards. Mindset of the employee. How to reach the goal of a safe work
environment.
Behavioral SafetyBehavioral Safety
Effective Feedback: Must be sincere. Focus on actions that can be
observed (not attitudes). Focus on correct actions as well as
what can be done better.
Behavioral SafetyBehavioral Safety Receiving Feedback:
Listen with an open mind. Separate what the person says from
what you think about that person. Never overreact. Ask open, non-defensive questions. Focus on areas to improve. What is right should outweigh what is
wrong.
Behavioral SafetyBehavioral Safety Hazard Recognition:
Recognize the hazards in your work area.
A hazard is any source of energy that has a potential to cause harm.
If we can find the energy, we can eliminate or lessen the hazard.
Behavioral SafetyBehavioral Safety How do we identify hazards?
Use your knowledge and experience. Use your senses – sight, sound,
touch, smell, feel. Use your job planning skills.
Behavioral SafetyBehavioral Safety Types of Energy Sources:
Motion Chemical Radiation Electrical Gravity Heat/Cold Biological Pressure
Behavioral SafetyBehavioral Safety
In a culture of safety, everyone takes personal responsibility for their own safety as well as those around them.
Behavioral SafetyBehavioral Safety Once the energy source is identified, the
hazard must be evaluated. Can the job be done safely? How can I make the job safer? If something unforeseen happens,
will I stop work? Am I in the right state of mind to work
safely?
Behavioral SafetyBehavioral Safety
Talking about safety is the key to success. Everyone is obligated to speak up when
they see someone performing an at-risk behavior.
A culture of safety creates a level of trust that encourages people to speak up.

Stop Work Authority (SWA)• Assessing hazards correctly depends
on each employee taking responsibility for their safety and that of their co-workers. • It is through this process that you can
determine if work must be stopped.
InterventionIntervention Employees have the RIGHT and
AUTHORITY to stop work without repercussions. Do it safely or not at all. There is always time do to it right.
InterventionInterventionAlways:• Operate in a safe and
controlled condition.• Ensure safety devices are in
place and functioning.• Follow safe work practices
and procedures.• Meet or exceed customer
requirements.
InterventionInterventionAlways:• Maintain integrity of dedicated systems.• Comply with all applicable rules and
regulations.• Address abnormal conditions.• Follow written procedures.• Involve the right people in decisions that
affect procedures and equipment.
InterventionInterventionHow Intervention Works:• Identify the perceived unsafe condition(s).
InterventionInterventionCoordinate the “Stop Work Action”• Start with the supervisor.• If the supervisor is not available and
affected persons are in immediate risk, initiate the “Stop Work” intervention.
• Notify all affected persons of the stop work issue.
InterventionIntervention• All parties shall discuss and gain
agreement on the stop work issue.• If the work is determined to be safe,
proceed with the work.• If the stop work issue is valid, resolve
the unsafe actions and proceed with work.
• If the stop work issue cannot be resolved immediately, suspend work until a resolution is achieved.
InterventionIntervention• Under no circumstances should
retribution be directed at any person(s) who exercise in good faith their stop work authority.
• All stop work interventions and associated detail shall be documented and reported.
