Service Overview
What Is Behaviour-Based Safety Training?
Behaviour-based safety training develops the skills needed to observe work objectively, reinforce safe behaviour and discuss at-risk behaviour constructively. It helps observers, supervisors, committee members and leaders understand how behaviour interacts with workplace conditions, equipment, procedures and organisational pressures. The programme should support learning and risk reduction—not blame employees or replace engineering and management controls.
