What is Behavior Based

Safety?Behavior Based Safety (BBS):

"application of science of

behavior change to real world

problems” or “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.”**

Behavior Studies

Safety: A Framework for Success.

Continued Behavior Based Safety

Behavior Based Safety has been

discussed in workplaces since the

and 1940’s through studies performed

H.W. Heinrich.

The concept was further studied and

really began to gain in popularity in the

1970’s and 1980’s.

Behavior based safety has been widely

accepted, primarily based on results of

studies indicating that 80%-95% of all

accidents are caused by our behavior or

the behavior of a coworker.

CULTURE

EnPro Learning System views

behavior based safety having four

critical components

Culture is the deeper level of basic assumptions and beliefs that

are shared by members of an organization, that operate

unconsciously and define in a basic 'taken for granted' fashion an

organization's view of its self and its environment.”Edgar Schein

EnPro’s Safety Progression

Implemented “off the shelf” BBS System 2003

• The business saw initial success after

implementations of a purchased BBS program

• Trained all employees on key terms and

program content

• Trained all supervisors and committee

members to perform observations and began

tracking of unsafe acts

• BBS Program plateau in 2007

Analysis

• Too much focus on employee’s actions

• Employee’s felt they were to blame

• Observations yielded little useful data because

we were doing it for all the wrong reasons

Conclusion

• Change the organization and the way we

operate

• Design a world-class safety system with

management commitment, employee

engagement and developing a community
