What is behavior based safety?

Behavior-based safety (BBS) is an approach to safety management that focuses on changing employee behavior to reduce the risk of accidents and injuries. The concept recognizes that human error is often the root cause of workplace incidents. BBS involves identifying unsafe behaviors, rewarding safe behavior, and implementing targeted interventions to change behavior. By focusing on behavior change, BBS aims to create a safety culture in which employees take responsibility for their own safety and the safety of their colleagues, without relying solely on management enforcement of rules and regulations.
