BEHAVIOR BASED SAFETY
& YOU!!! PART I
3 DISTINCT ELEMENTS OF SAFETY
1. HUMAN ATTRIBUTES
(KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, ABILITY,
INTELLIGENCE, MOTIVES, ETC.
….WHAT DO YOU KNOW

….DOING IT WELL VS. JUST DOING IT
3 DISTINCT ELEMENTS OF SAFETY II
2… WORK
ENVIRONMENT:
(EQUIPMENT, TOOLS,
MACHINES,
PROCEDURES,
FACILITES, ETC.)
…INDOORS/OUTDOORS
(OSHA…NO SHADE
PROVIDED & NOT
ENOUGH DRINKING
WATER)
3 DISTINCT ELEMENTS OF SAFETY III
3…BEHAVIOR: (WHAT PEOPLE DO)
 WE ARE ATTRACTED TO
NEGATIVE BEHAVIOR
 WHO DROVE THE SPEED LIMIT
THIS WEEKEND/TODAY?
 WHO TEXTED OR TALKED ON
CELL COMING HERE TODAY ?
 WE PUSH THE ENVELOPE
NEAR MISSES:
 UNSAFE BEHAVIORS DON’T ALWAYS RESULT IN
ACCIDENTS
 NEAR MISSES ARE GOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES TO
PREVENT FUTURE ISSUES
 DON’T IGNORE UNSAFE BEHAVIOR
 WE DO A LOT OF UNSAFE THINGS & GET AWAY
WITH IT.. DOES THAT MAKE IT OK?
 EVENTUALLY IT WILL CATCH UP TO US
What is Behavior Based Safety
 Human behavior causes most accidents
 – Comfort
 – Saving Time
 – Convenience
 – Lack of understanding and training
 – Complacency
 – Wrong Safety focus
 – Celebrating production over safety
SAFETY TOOLS NEEDED:
Safety Manual
– Procedures
– MSDS MANUALS
– PPE
– Observations
– Audits
ACCEPTED PERCEPTIONS
RIGHT
HAND VS
LEFT
HAND
BEHAVIORAL BASED SAFETY…
 IT CANNOT BE SUCCESSFUL STANDING
ALONE
 IT IS AN ELEMENT TO BE USED IN
COMBINATION WITH OTHER ELEMENTS
 CAN’T BE THE FLAVOR OF THE MONTH
 IT’S NOT A MAGIC BULLET OR
SHORTCUT…..
INCENTIVE PROGRAMS….
 Incentive programs
can give a wrong
focus on safety
and health.
 They will not
improve the HSE
 It will just give us
more “fat cats”
FOUNDATION CONCEPTS…
It is better to slay a dragon than to teach people ways to live
peacefully with him!!!
WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRADITIONAL
& BEHAVIORAL–BASED SAFETY
PROGRAMS???
TRADITIONAL……..
 TYPICALLY A TOP-DOWN APPROACH
 FOCUS ON REGUALTIONS &
PROCEDURES
 TREATS SYMPTOMS
 EXTERNAL ENFORCEMENT
 DO AS I SAY…JUST DO IT… BUT WHEN
BACK IS TURNED…THEY WILL DO WHAT
THEY WANT TO DO
BEHAVIORAL BASED…..
 IS A BOTTOM-UP APPROACH
 FOCUS ON EMPLOYEE BEHAVIORS
 ADDRESSES ROOT CAUSES
 INTERNAL ENFORCEMENT
BY THE NUMBERS:
ACCIDENT/INCIDENT
INCIDENTS…….600
PROPERTY DAMAGE... 30
MINOR INJURY…10
LOST-TIME INJURY….1
CHANGE BEHAVIOR AT “600” LEVEL & YOU
CAN PREVENT THE OTHER 3 RESULTING
ITEMS
$$$$ THE COST $$$$
FOR EVERY $1.00
OF DIRECT COSTS
FOR
INJURY/ILLNESS
THERE ARE UP TO
$100.00 OF
INDIRECT COSTS
BEHAVIORALANALYSIS I
 WHAT ARE
BEHAVIORS?
 ARE BEHAVIORS
OBSERVABLE?
 ARE BEHAVIORS
INHERENTLY
“GOOD” OR “BAD”?
BEHAVIORALANALYSIS II
 BEHAVIORS RESULT IN POSITIVE OR
NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES FOR
WORKERS.
 IMMEDIATE, SURE & GOOD
CONSEQUENCES REINFORCED.
 IMMEDIATE, SURE & BAD
CONSEQUENCES REFUTED.
80-85% of all incidents are the result of unsafe acts;
15-20% of all incidents are the result of unsafe
conditions.
Question: If true, why are most efforts geared
towards unsafe conditions?
Answer: It’s easier to deal with unsafe conditions
than unsafe acts.
Unsafe Acts vs. Unsafe Conditions
THE CHALLENGE…..
REALIZE THE VALUE
OF DOING THINGS
THE RIGHT WAY
