1960’s – 1st formal study – Posters = Behavior Change

Fortune 500 companies begin use of behavioral principles with

Quality, Productivity

1970’s – Robust academic studies = Fledgling BBS

movement.

1980’s – US Academe & Commercialization = BBS providers.

1990’s – BBS spreads to entire English speaking world.

2000 plus – BBS spreads to become worldwide phenomena.

Behavior Is What a Person Does or Says.

What Causes a Person to Take This Particular Behavior or

Course of Action Depends On Other Influencing Factors.

Attitude and Situational Conditions Cause The Particular

Behavior.

What Influences Behavior :-

Motivation.

Intelligence.

Emotions.

Experience.

Attitude

Situational Conditions

When a Persons Attitude Changes, His or Her Behavior Will

Typically Follow. Assuming He or She Has Adequate

Knowledge of the Safe Working Conditions in the Work

Environment.

When You Eliminate Every Other Reason for Unacceptable

Behavior, What Is Left It Attitudinal.

If a Person Understands That His or Her Safety at Work is

Controllable in a Measurable Way, Acceptance of Safety as an

Essential Part of the Work Environment Will Be Increased.

Safe Attitudes and Behaviors Will Naturally Follow.

Motivation changes attitude and attitude drives behavior.

A process that creates a safety partnership between management

and employees that continually focuses people's attentions and

actions on theirs, and others, daily safety behavior.

BBS "focuses on what people do, analyzes why they do it, and

then applies a research-supported intervention strategy to

improve what people do".

The application of behavioral psychology to promote safe

behavior in the workplace using employee involvement.

They collect some observations data in an organization and then

analyze to reduce injury and continuous improvement in safety.

Injuries are going up.

Most traditional safety programs plateau.

To achieve zero accidents we need to change our thinking.

96% of injuries are a result of unsafe behaviors.

Measurement of incidents and injuries is reactive.

Measurement of behaviors is proactive.

Behavior modification is dealing with the root cause.

Cultural change.

Stop the accident cycle.

It is a process through which work groups can identify, measure

and change their behaviors.

This applies principles of ABC behavior model.

Traditional behavior-based safety approaches:-

1.Identify Unsafe behaviors

2.Train workforce to observe

3.Praise safe behavior , feedback about at-risk behavior

4.Use statistics to develop interventions

1.Taking shortcuts i. Time pressure ii. Culture of production over safety

2.Complacency/habit i. Distractions ii. Managers not “walking the talk”

3.Fatigue i. Poor shift scheduling ii. High workload

4.Lack of risk perception

i. Issues on mind

ii. Inadequate communication

iii. Poor visual cues

5.Human error

i. Lack of training

ii. Poor procedures

iii. Poor machine Use ability

All injuries can be prevented. Our goal is zero

incidents.

Management is accountable for preventing occupational

injuries and illnesses.

Safety is a condition of employment.

Safe work must be reinforced and unsafe acts and conditions

must be corrected.

Injuries, incidents and near misses must be investigated.

Employees must be allowed to participate in the prevention of

injuries and illnesses.

Improve Quality.

Improve Absenteeism.

Maintain a Healthier Work Force.

Reduce Injury and Illness Rates.

Acceptance of High-Turnover Jobs.

Workers Feel Good About Their Work.

Reduce Workers’ Compensation Costs.

Elevate SAFETY to a Higher Level of Awareness.

People monitor their own behavior

Supervisors are trained in the method, which they then apply to ‘hourly’ employees.

Antecedents

(trigger behavior)

Behavior

(human performance)

Consequences

(either reinforce or punish behavior)

Three Elements:-

Activator - is a person, place, thing, coming before a behavior

that encourages you to perform that behavior.

Activators only set the stage for behavior or performance -

they don’t control it.

Behavior - is something you can see a person doing.

Any directly measurable thing that a person does, including

speaking, acting, and performing physical functions.

Consequence – Events that follow behaviors.

Events that follow behaviors and change the probability that

they will recur in the future

Behavioral base safety is required to:-

Reduce injuries & modify behavior by reinforcing safe work

practices

Reduce costs

Increase effective communication

Increase safety awareness

Increase observation skills

Develop leadership skills

Increase efficiency

Increase productivity

Increase Morale
