Why Choose Behaviour-Based Safety Training?
Traditional safety programs often focus on hazards, procedures, and regulatory compliance. However, over 80% of workplace incidents are rooted not in unsafe conditions but unsafe behaviours. That’s where behaviour-Based Safety (BBS) makes the difference.
BBS is a proactive safety management process that uses behavioural science to identify, observe, and positively influence employee behaviours. Rather than blaming individuals, BBS focuses on systems and environments, creating sustainable behavioural change across all levels of the organization.
Key Benefits of BBS:
- Reduction in workplace incidents and near-misses
- Higher employee engagement and ownership of safety practices
- Improved morale and communication
- Integration with existing HSE systems (ISO 45001, OSHA VPP)
- Stronger safety culture aligned with international standards
- Demonstrable ROI through lower injury rates and productivity gains
Who Should Attend This Course?
This BBS training is ideal for professionals seeking to implement, lead, or support a behaviour-Based Safety program within their organization. Typical participants include:
- HSE Managers and Officers
- Plant Supervisors and Site Engineers
- Team Leaders and Shift Managers
- Safety Coordinators
