Service Overview
What Is Behaviour-Based Safety Consulting?
Behaviour-based safety consulting helps an organisation design, implement or improve a structured process for observing work, reinforcing safe behaviour and learning from at-risk behaviour. A credible BBS programme looks beyond the individual and captures conditions influencing behaviour, including equipment, work design, procedures, supervision, competence and organisational pressures.
BBS should complement the hierarchy of controls, HIRA, incident learning and legal compliance. It must not transfer responsibility for unsafe systems from management to workers or become a fault-finding exercise.
