What Is Behaviour-Based Safety?
For every injury that occurs in the workplace, there may be a multitude of near misses, a clear signal that we need to focus not just on the major incidents, but on the day-to-day behaviours of everyone in the organization. By digging deeper and exploring the actions that lead to these near misses, we can discover the core attitudes and conduct affecting safety in the workplace. The biggest challenge every workplace faces is at-risk behaviours. This makes behaviour-based safety the greatest opportunity for positive change in any organization.
Behavior-based safety creates a partnership between management and workers that focuses on behaviour in relation to work. It encourages workers to help each other be safe by calling out at-risk behaviours and encouraging safe behaviours, effectively creating a culture of safety.

“Behaviour-based safety is another tool in our toolbox. It’s a tool that we use to initiate a conversation about safety. If it’s done properly, it becomes an open exchange of information. It’s just an opportunity to determine what motivates people to act one way or another, to act unsafely or to act safely.”
Dennis Bishop
Manager, Health Safety and Environment
“When you see it, you own it!
When someone sees an at-risk bahaviour, they need to know they are now responsible for it and for that person.
Behaviour-based safety provides tools to allow team members to effectively intervene and potentially prevent an accident.”

“I’ve been in OH&S for more than 20 years, and over 80% of incidents I have investigated were, in my opinion, preventable. In many cases the hazards and behaviours were visible. A behaviour-based safety system can help companies get to the core of this problem and prevent a lot of incidents.”
